Traveling and Quarantine Requirements
Updated 10/12/2021

 

Newark Academy families who are planning to travel internationally during holiday breaks should take precautions and make arrangements that permit sufficient lead time to self-quarantine as needed. 

 

In accordance with the CDC’s guidelines, all unvaccinated community members who are traveling internationally must self-quarantine for a period of at least seven days. These individuals must also take a COVID-19 test on Day 5 of their return.

 

Vaccinated individuals do not need to self-quarantine after traveling internationally, but should take a test on Day 3-5 following their return.
