[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 1 year old started recently at an in-home in VA. There are 12 kids and 3 adults daily. We were notified by the owner late last week of a Covid exposure. Other than the notification from her, I’m getting no solid information on next steps. She said wait until day 5 and get them tested. So I did. I sent her the results of the negative rapid test. She’s asking why the pediatrician didn’t do a PCR. The pediatrician told me that based on the amount of time since exposure (more than 5 days at time of test) and runny nose to do a rapid. Now she’s wavering on that being an acceptable test. I’m just going to assume at this point that we will be closed all week but isn’t there official protocol? Like she seems like she’s just going off of what she’s heard and no real guidance. 
Earlier in the pandemic, when my older was exposed, we got a call from the HD with very specific steps and timelines. [/quote]

Was this an at home rapid test?

If so then she is right. At home rapid tests are not authorized or approved for children under two years old. They need to have a PCR test.[/quote]
