Please heed what the medical professionals are saying and not just following the lead of other parents who are being more loose with social distancing practices . This article by an MD/MPH explains why playgrounds are NOT a good idea.

I posted on a different thread about this article. I also read the publication (not yet peer-reviewed) on which it’s based, which doesn’t note whether the experiments were conducted indoors or outdoors. Assuming the former, it’s unlikely the virus lives on outdoor surfaces as long as it does on indoor surfaces, in highly controlled conditions. I mean, I just have a Ph.D., but it’s an example of why details matter.
