<p>With Thanksgiving break a little more than one week away, Baltimore City Public Schools is updating its COVID-19 protocols.</p>
<p>Before going on vacation November 23, each student and staff member will be given an At-Home test kit.</p>
<p>The school system says students and staff should take the tests one or two days prior to returning on November 28.</p>
<p>Anyone testing positive must continue to isolate for at least 5 days after diagnosis, and is urged to call the school's tracing team at 443-984-1200 or email contacttracing@bcps.k12.md.us.</p>
<p>Based on CDC guidance, the school system will no longer conduct bi-weekly screening testing as of January 3, 2023.</p>
