Arlington Co & Fairfax Co- Update your daycare Covid policies

Anonymous
It seems like everyone has moved on with test to stay and allowing optional masking / updated asymptomatic guidance for K-12 school etc… but one area that has been neglected is policy surrounding DAYCARE facilities. Parents of the under 2 cohort are suffering.

Guidance still dictates that when an under 2 ( unable to mask) is exposed to a positive case ( regardless of whether or not the case was asymptomatic) there is a minimum 10 day quarantine.

With multiple kids under 5 my fam is now on our 5th round of a 10 day quarantine this year. We have no more paid leave, our professional lives are shot after repeated unexpected bouts of unplanned leave. Parents of the under 2 group cannot sustain this much longer.

CDC, VA, Arlington, and Fairfax County, please update daycare policy because it is unsustainable.

This is unlikely to happen while we are in the middle of a huge case spike.
