COVID-19 Dashboard

COVID-19S

CDC and MontCoOPH updated their COVID precautions as of August 11, 2022.  As a result, Springfield Township has updated our Health and Safety plan. The district will continue to maintain our COVID-19 resources webpage.

The HSP plan has been revised to reflect the most current guidance from the CDC, as required under the ARP ESSER grant program. The plan has not changed in the following ways:

  • Those infected with Covid-19 may return to work/school after 5 days
  • Good personal hygiene will continue to be encouraged for all
  • Cleaning and sanitizing will continue to follow all recommended guidance
  • We will continue to track local and county data and report cases to OPH as required
  • We will continue to maintain a resource page on our website

As a result of the wide availability of the vaccine and greater overall exposure to the infection over the past two years, the CDC has modified recommendations as follows:

  • Schools are no longer viewed as high-risk congregate settings, such as hospitals, nursing homes and correctional facilities
  • The MCOPH and PADOH are referring all districts to CDC guidance
  • Students and staff no longer need to quarantine if exposed but asymptomatic
  • Contact tracing and social distancing are no longer required
  • Testing is available but not required of any group of staff or students
