Runny nose in daycare

[Anonymous]

Baby is 7 months old and supposed to start daycare on Monday. Are they going to ask that she stay home? No other symptoms. Not sure how strict most places are because of COVID or whether a runny nose would be acceptable in a normal time.

Our daycare would immediately send him home due to covid.

Ask your daycare.

+1 and we do a daily screen that asks about runny nose

Negative test or isolating will likely be required even with no other symptoms. Prior to the pandemic runny noses were just part of daycare and accepted.

Yes, our daycare wouldn’t let him in.

My daycare wouldn’t allow the baby in with a cold.

I had a fever from my 2nd vaccine and they wouldn’t let DD in (who was perfectly fine).

My daycare won’t allow a runny nose nowadays, even if there’s no fever.

My daycare would (and does) allow runny noses if there are no other symptoms. Just call Monday morning.

Our daycare is the same. As long as it is JUST a runny nose, they don't exclude. From what I can gather, this seems to follow VDH guidelines.

Same in Maryland. A runny nose by itself isn't symptomatic of COVID.

That was your own fault. You can't expect businesses to exercise cause common sense in these situations. You weren't suppose to report a fever in that situation. They didn't want to know. But once you told them, of course their hands were tied.

Same with ours in Virginia

No, our daycare takes everyone’s temperature through the car window when you pull up for drop off.

Ask your daycare. My daycare absolutely would not take a baby with a runny nose into the infant room. I think a lot of posters are talking about older kids.

Wow. That makes more sense now, but that's pretty crazy. You must have had quite the fever to set off a non-contact thermometer. No spouse or grandparent that could have done the drop off?
