[quote=Anonymous]Our new fully vaccinated nanny caught covid a week before she is supposed to start with us.

After quarantining for 10 days after symptoms began, she showed from a letter from fairfax county saying that she is released to resume normal activities.

However, she is still testing positive for covid.

But apparently cdc guideline is that employers should not require a negative covid tests from employees as long as they have isolated for 10 days. And that it will take several times, even up to 1-3 months until the person would test negative. The positive test is likely due to dead virus in the guts, but also could be due to lingering symptoms. It is not a sure thing.

I have an infant (3 months old) and an unvaccinated toddler at home. My mother, who has some preexisting conditions, is also living with us but will be leaving in mid September. She is terrified of having someone who is testing covid positive in the house. So am I and my husband.

We are at a loss as to what to do. We have offered to pay that nanny full salary in the first week using all her sick leave, and a flat lump sum (25% of her wage) thereafter for not coming to our house until she gets a negative test. But this cannot go on forever, and she has not even begun with us!
