Figure 3. The effect of requiring isolation after the last fever event in a median US school experiencing an outbreak of COVID-19.

(A) Post-fever isolation and (B) in-person school-week reduction policies on a median US school experiencing an outbreak of COVID-19. Vertical axis indicates daily prevalence as in Fig. 2. Increasing the number of post-fever isolation days has little effect on the outbreak. Reducing the number of school days that students physically go to school each week reduces the peak number of infected, the number concurrently infected, and the duration of the outbreak.
