[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people will test positive after having Omicron for several weeks. My kids are fully recovered but I kept them home last week. They're ready to go back and fully healthy.
Does the DCPS know that people can still test positive after getting over Omincron/Covid?
Thank you.[/quote]

I am in the exact same situation, and was told we need a negative antigen test before his first day back (this Friday), just as we would have needed a negative antigen test for him to return last Thursday. I am also nervous it will be positive after her 10 days of isolation...[/quote]

This is us exactly and I feel like she's almost certainly going to test negative (we're actually going to test the whole family just to be extra sure). If she tests positive, I'm going to keep her home but talk to the pediatrician. She has zero symptoms. I think our pediatrician will probably give us an all clear after the isolation, and we'll submit that to the school in lieu of a negative test (ideally with an explanation from our doctor explaining) and see if that does it.

Not sure we have any other options. I get why the school needs some documentation. Hopefully she'll just test negative tonight and we'll be fine.[/quote]
