A reminder that SFX and the Archdiocese of Chicago follow the City of Chicago travel guidance. CLICK HERE for the City of Chicago's Covid 19 Travel Advisory.

We continue to follow the City of Chicago's classification of "orange" states, maintaining our travel quarantine requirements for non-vaccinated individuals.

Given that children under 5 are not yet eligible for vaccination, at this time they are exempted from the City’s Travel Advisory, as long as the adults they are traveling with are vaccinated.

> Fully Vaccinated students/teachers/staff do not need post-travel Covid 19 testing or self-quarantine as long as they are not symptomatic and provide proof of vaccination.

> Unvaccinated students, teachers, & staff must quarantine for 5 days OR provide proof of a negative test, taken after travel and as close to the start of school as practical, but no earlier than 72 hours prior to returning home. Persons must quarantine until a negative test is received. If the test result is negative, no further quarantine is required.
