Throughout last school year, these recommendations were revised several times to reflect what was currently known about the SARS-CoV-2 virus and best public health practices as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS).  \nThe situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. Wisconsin schools responded to new variants (Delta and Omicron). Currently both those waves have receded. As of February 25, 2022 the CDC has move to a community level strategy for living with the SARS-CoV-2 virus as the pandemic continues world-wide. The aim isto ensure adequate medical resources rather than to avoid transmission entirely.  \nThis guidance is reflective of DPI’s commitment and focus on equity, both educational and health equity. DPI understands that keeping students healthy is how we keep our educators healthy, our families healthy, our communities healthy, and our health care system able to care for us in times of need. Students need to be healthy and safe in order to learn. DPI calls on districts and schools to use evidence-based practices in conjunction with scientific and public health principles to keep all students and staff safe and schools open to in-person instruction. The DPI calls on districts to ensure that those that remain vulnerable to COVID-19 receive the accommodations necessary to mitigate their risk. The DPI continues to work in consultation with the DHS while following the recommendations of the CDC to develop guidance for school district boards of education, school administrators, and school healthcare professionals.  \nThe CDC is now looking atthe combination of three metrics—new COVID-19 admissions per 100,000 population in the past seven days, the per","cbCailFsSqQx7csG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailFsSqQx7csG","pdf",494664,29,"English","# Introduction\n## Strategies to Decrease Impact of COVID-19 on Vulnerable Populations in School\n## Special Considerations\n## Staff Considerations\n## Further Resources\n## Appendix","[{\"question\":\"What guidance updates are reflected in the 2021/2022 document for Wisconsin schools?\",\"answer\":\"The report describes DPI revising recommendations across the prior school year to reflect current understanding of SARS-CoV-2 and best public health practices aligned with CDC and Wisconsin DHS guidance.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the CDC define the COVID-19 Community Level referenced by this guidance?\",\"answer\":\"It uses three metrics: new COVID-19 admissions per 100,000 in the past seven days, the percent of staffed inpatient beds occupied by COVID-19 patients, and total new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 in the past seven days.\"},{\"question\":\"What mitigation strategies does the document emphasize to protect vulnerable populations?\",\"answer\":\"It recommends measures including preventing ill or potentially infectious students and staff from attending school, promoting vaccination, ensuring adequate ventilation, and supporting students and staff who choose to wear masks.\"}]","COVID-19 Infection Control and Mitigation Measures for Wisconsin Schools 2021/2022 | PDF",1792062156,73,{"code":4,"msg":81,"data":99},[100,104,108,112,117,122,125,130,135,138,142],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":113,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":85,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":123,"slug":124},40,"healthcare",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":127,"show_sort_weight":128,"slug":129},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":134},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":133,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":137},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":139,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":140,"show_sort_weight":139,"slug":141},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":143,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":144,"show_sort_weight":113,"slug":145},19,"General","general"]
