What is your daycares policy if a child has covid and goes to daycare?

This for our center.

You all need to calm down a little.

I know of one in CO

One outbreak in a center, or one transmission in a center?

Because yes, I've seen some reports of transmissions involving a couple/few staff members and/or children. But nothing that I would describe as an "outbreak."

It has nothing to do with what YOU would "describe as an outbreak." It has to do with what Health Departments describe as an outbreak, and that criteria has been met in many daycare centers throughout the country.

For future reference, just because you don't personally know of something or agree with something does not make it untrue.

My child's daycare has been open since August and we've been notified of three cases since then - all in November. They didn't shut down the whole school, just the affected classes. Children were allowed to go back 14 days after exposure, and since we were notified a few days after exposure, the kids weren't out of school the whole two weeks.

Really good point!

At our school they have to stay home as well. I think this was not always the case, however...

We had a family who had multiple kids in the daycare have COVID. They shut down both rooms for 2 weeks. No one else got sick.
