The effect of requiring isolation after the last fever event in a median US school experiencing an outbreak of influenza (A) fever isolation and (B) shortened in-person school week. Vertical axis indicates daily prevalence and ripples are due to weekends and closures. Summer holiday starts June 17 and reduces transmission. Increasing the required days of isolation or shortening the in-person school week reduces the peak infected and the number concurrently infected. Only shortening the in-person school week reduces the duration of the outbreak.
