"North Carolina public schools will no longer have to do daily temperature checks and charter schools can now offer full-time, daily in-person instruction to all their students.

 

The state Department of Health and Human Services updated its school reopening toolkit this week to say that the daily health screenings and temperature checks of students and staff are no longer required. DHHS also updated the guidance to allow all middle schools and high schools to offer Plan A: daily in-person instruction with minimal social distancing requirements.
