Schools Issue Warning About Spring Break And Easter Travel
Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) has issued the following student guidelines for spring break travel and quarantine in line with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the state of Maryland.
Even if you are fully vaccinated, the CDC recommends not to travel at this time and to stay home to protect yourself and others from COVID-19. If you have recovered from COVID-19 and later develop symptoms, you should not travel.
COVID-19 testing after travel outside of Maryland is advised, but not required.
