[quote=Anonymous]This is a little different than your question, but I thought might be helpful to share.  Our center has not had a case at the center (as far as I know), but we notified them and stayed home for a time after contact with a (non-household) family member whose symptoms began a couple days after we saw them and who tested positive a week or so after.  There was no class-wide or center-wide communication about why we were staying home (unless they sent it to everyone but me), and no closings or anything.  They did not require any of us in the household to get tested to come back -- just excluded us until two weeks after our contact with the person.  I got a test from my doctor and it came back negative at the very end of our exclusion period, otherwise I'm not sure I would have felt comfortable returning.

It raises some concerns for me that they don't require testing after contact with a known positive and that they didn't notify other families (who could then be extra vigilant for symptoms), but maybe it was because of the timing of things -- I don't know if the exclusion/actions would have been different if we had been in contact while the person was exhibiting symptoms, for example, or if any of us in the household had ever exhibited symptoms (we never did, and the daycare was aware of that).
