Cohorts of kids and adults in controlled, supervised settings 
A cohort is a stable group of no more than 14 children or youth and no more than two supervising adults in a supervised environment. The group stays together for all activities, including meals and recreation. And this group avoids contact with anyone not in their group.

Follow the guidance for cohorts of children and youth in controlled, supervised and indoor environments. These environments include, but are not limited to, the following:

-  public and private schools
-  licensed and license-exempt child care settings
-  organized and supervised care environments, like “distance learning hubs”
-  recreation programs
-  before and after school programs
-  youth groups
- day camps

See the answers to frequently asked questions about cohort guidance.

Kids and adults in supervised care environments must be in groups as small as possible. Kids and supervising adults in one group must not physically interact with:

- kids and supervising adults in other groups
- other facility staff
- parents of kids in other groups

Practicing a cohort structure:

- decreases opportunities for exposure to or transmission of the virus
- facilitates more efficient contact tracing in the event of a positive case
- allows for targeted testing, quarantine, and isolation of a single group instead of an entire population of kids and supervising adults
