[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daycare will be open in the fall probably before. Interestingly Maryland has 2200 daycares open for essential workers since March and only 50 have had to close temporarily due to a case. If daycares are open without outbreaks people will be asking why schools cannot be open with appropriate precautions.[/quote]

What sort of social distancing measures have the essential worker daycares put in place?[/quote]

Ours turned into a daycare for essential workers. They are running at less than half their normal capacity. From what I hear from their updates they are:

Requiring temperature checks in front of a director upon arrival and parents must bring their own thermometer and the parent/caregiver must be the one to take the temperature. All temperatures are recorded in a log.

Caregivers dropping off or picking up must wear masks. Only one caregiver is allowed in the lobby at a time. There are often lines of parents/kids waiting to drop off in the mornings and parents lined up to get their kids in the afternoons. No parents/caregivers are allowed past the lobby.

Staff must wear masks and gloves. Kids over the age of 5 must wear masks. They require what they consider to be “excessive” hand washing for staff and students.

Each classroom can have a maximum of 10 people in it, including staff.

Only one classroom is allowed outside at a time.
