[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some child care centers never closed during the lockdown. The YMCA has taken care of 40,000 children of essential workers since March. Guess how many coronavirus outbreaks they've had.

Zero.

From NPR:

Funny that what they did is all teachers are asking DCPS to promise to do (and spell out our options for when they don't):

"no more than nine children with each adult."
"Pods didn't mix"
"They did temperature checks and symptom screenings on each child coming in each day, with staff members wearing masks, gloves and gowns where available. Children with symptoms were urged to stay home."
"Staff came up with creative ways to reinforce frequent and thorough hand-washing." (NOTE: I'm assuming all the Ys had soap to wash with, though it doesn't specify.)
"And children get their own materials, such as art supplies, to use from day to day, rather than sharing."

In NYC:
"Face coverings are mandatory for all,"
"Social distancing is maintained as much as possible"
" daily temperature checks of everyone coming in the building are done by school nurses"

For those who didn't read to the end:
""These experiences illustrate that it's possible to bring kids together without a guarantee of an outbreak or a serious situation developing," he explains. On the other hand, they don't guarantee the opposite."
