[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids - 2 vaccinated and 1 too young to be vaccinated. One of my vaccinated kids has symptoms and tested positive. The rest of the family is negative. Per preschool's guidelines, I will keep my unvaccinated preschooler home for 5 days and need a negative PCR to go back to school. My other vaccinated child can continue going to school per school guidelines of being vaccinated.

We fortunately live in a large home and every bedroom has its own bathroom. We have a big basement with its own bedroom. So far we are keeping covid child in his room. I'm thinking of letting him hang out in the basement alone.

Would you rent a place and take unvaccinated child out of the house for a week?

Would you continue taking unvaccinated child to activities?

Can you recommend any strategies on how to not get the rest of the family covid?[/quote]

I am going to go against the grain and say it might be possible as we just went through this and the three kids all did not test positive right away.  We think the first one got it at daycare and the second from the first and the third from the second with them each testing positive 5-7 days apart.  We had NOT been quarantining them since we figured it was too late but I think if we had isolated them all the third one wouldn't have gotten it (the second might have already been exposed).

The problem is you almost have to keep all three isolated from each other unless you know for sure that the two testing negative don't have it or weren't exposed- other wise one of them could be contagious but testing negative and give it to the other while you are isolating your first kid and then you went through this giant pain quarantine for nothing.

We didn't take the unvaccinated or vaccinated kid to activities .  It was over break so didn't have to worry about daycare/ school decisions.  [/quote]
