[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our daycare is saying that if a member of a child’s household tests positive for Covid, the child has to quarantine for at least 15 days, regardless of vaccination status.  Is this common practice elsewhere?  For other exposures (non-household member) vaccinated individuals don’t need to quarantine at all and unvaccinated would have the option to test out after 5 days (provided they can wear a mask).[/quote]

Regardless of vaccination status?  Maybe if they don't wear masks I can see why.  But aren't daycare kids under 5 and not eligible?  [/quote]

OP here- yes but many if not most of the kids in the older classes at our daycare already turned 5 and vaccinated, and this applies to them too.  I was also hopeful that when my DC is eligible for vaccination we’d be rid of these quarantines.

But point taken that it’s likely to spread within a house anyway- guess the hope would be that if it were to come to that DC would test positive before us.  I could just see this sort of policy leading to parents not really being truthful if they themselves test positive but not the kid.  [/quote]

I think its unreasonable if it's different than the CDC guidelines.  I would bring it up to the daycare.  One of the perks of getting the vaccine is not having to quarantine.  [/quote]

Agree- I don’t know where OP lives but this is definitely not the policy in most public school districts, so I’m not sure what the justification is for it at a daycare (except for under 2s maybe that can’t wear a mask).  It seems like this type of quarantine should be applied consistently one way or another.
