<p class="MsoNormal">North Seattle and Seattle Central are quarantining for 9 days based on the 4<sup>th</sup> round of REALM testing which found detectable levels of virus on Day 7 of testing for items that had been stored stacked on top of or next to each
other instead of spread out. Since we don’t have the space to spread out returned materials to allow for a shorter quarantine period, I recommended we err on the side of caution.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">South Seattle isn’t quarantining because South Seattle doesn’t have the staffing to support any in-person services while the college is operating remotely. They’re not doing any check out or returns at all.<o:p></o:p></p>
