[quote=Anonymous]I don't know if it's common practice. I think if they do not have an exception if the family member can isolate (e.g. in the basement) that would be odd. I agree this is a big burden on families, but in practice if the family member cannot isolate the likelihood they can pass it on to the child they live with is pretty high.

We had the opposite happen - our child got COVID at daycare (which had a massive outbreak). I tested positive 5 days later, and I'm staying home for 10 days, so it ends up being 15 anyway. Add to that the fact that DD actually was quarantine for 5 days before she tested positive. I'm glad I started quarantining as soon as she tested positive or I could have gotten my high-risk coworkers sick.

So I think the policy makes sense, but I do get that it is a huge burden. Call me a terrible parent but I'm glad my child got it before I did, and that now that she's had COVID she's exempted from quarantine from 90 days. These quarantines are brutal because they can be neverending until the child actually gets COVID.[/quote]
