How long do we need to quarantine? (APS)

[Anonymous]

My DD is vaxed (more than 6 months out) but not boosted and had a close contact with a positive case today. I will call the nurse on Monday but I can’t tell from the APS website how long she needs to quarantine. 5 days with negative PCR? 8 days after test on day 5? 14 days? Thank you!

As of right now, APS is using their old quarantine guidelines, so your daughter doesn’t need to quarantine if she is asymptomatic.

If they adopt the new CDC guidelines, she likely would have to quarantine for 5 days, whether symptomatic or not, if it’s been more than 6 months since her 2nd shot and she hasn’t been boosted.

This is accurate.

If this was me I would home test every morning before school and send my kid until/unless there was a positive test or symptoms.

But yes following their policy you can send her.

If you can get a PCR test, try to schedule it for day 4 post exposure. Consider using rapid tests in the interim if you can get them

No quarantine, but testing is highly recommended.

Don't call the nurse. Just go to school. These rules are likely changing before the end of the month with Youngkin and the new VDH.

The likelihood of her testing positive is less than 5%. Not worth it for her to miss school

+1,000 If my kid is actually sick, then they won't go to school. Otherwise, they're going to school.

And I'm definitely not testing. We don't asymptomatically test people for the flu. We'll soon not be doing it for COVID too.

If it was me, I'd say "get well soon" and see if my daughter actually gets sick. Otherwise, we're going about our lives as normal.

+1. Nothing good comes of involving the nurse.

Most people I know don't self-report at all. This poster's daughter is going to be one of the few to suffer the consequences of her parents reporting it. Hopefully she changes her mind, says nothing and sends her daughter to school.

I’m very cautious, but no way am I telling the school about a symptomless vaccinated child’s brush with someone with covid. My kid feels at all ill, I’ll test.

Next week you’ll wonder why so many teachers are out due to breakthrough cases…

Yep 😞 These same parents will rage when we have to go to virtual due to lack of well teachers. Disgusting.
