[quote=Anonymous]We've been back at daycare for three months now. The first two months went really smoothly--kid didn't even get sick. Then there was a non-covid cold that went through the classroom. A couple weeks ago, a teacher began quarantining after a family member tested positive for COVID, and a few days later she tested positive too. That classroom was closed, and no children contracted COVID from the teacher.

Based on our experience, I would say that the various protective measures (temperature checks, masking by older kids/teachers, and no mixing) have reduced but not eliminated the risk of a disease spreading. There are fewer colds going around than before, but not none. Teachers do seem to be at increased risk, though I think that's unfortunately due to the fact that lower income people are generally more likely to be essential workers required to go out in public--the teacher who tested positive got it from a family member, and at least one other teacher has been quarantined because of a family member testing positive. On the other hand, none of the kids or their parents have tested positive since the daycare reopened.[/quote]
