Quarantines, 2021-22

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, school nurses and designated infection control team members conducted contact tracing to identify students and staff who had been in close contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19. As a part of that process, ACPS recorded the number of students and staff who were required to quarantine (stay home) due to a possible exposure to COVID-19 at school or work, as well as the dates of quarantine for each student and staff member.

Per guidance offered by the Virginia Department of Health in January 2022, schools are no longer required to conduct contact tracing for every individual case of COVID-19. In February 2022, our local health department shifted its efforts from investigating every case of COVID-19 to following up on outbreaks and cases in high-risk settings. Likewise, effective April 1, 2022, ACPS stopped routinely conducting contact tracing for each case of COVID-19 diagnosed among our students and staff. Beginning in April 2022, we limited our contact tracing efforts to situations involving an outbreak or sustained transmission from person to person to person in a school or department.

The following table shows the total number of students and staff who quarantined (stayed home) due to a possible exposure to COVID-19 at school or work between July 1, 2021, and March 31, 2022.

*Students identified in the “Student Athletes” column were quarantined due to exposure during an athletic practice or game.

Outbreaks, 2021-22

An outbreak is defined as two or more cases linked by a common exposure at school or work. During the 2021-22 school year, ACPS experienced 20 COVID-19 outbreaks.

An outbreak is considered "active" for 28 days (two incubation periods) following symptom onset. The Virginia Department of Health maintains a public-facing COVID-19 Outbreaks by Selected Exposure Settings dashboard. Using the table embedded at the bottom of that page, users can select "K-12" under "Facility Type" to view outbreak data for public and private K-12 schools across the state.


COVID-19 data specific to our region (including Charlottesville City and the counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson) is available through the Blue Ridge Health District COVID-19 Data Portal.
