[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was one outbreak at an Alexandria daycare. The center wan’r being smart (had a floater going between classrooms, and other inadvisable practices) and they had at least four teachers and multiple students test positive. If they had been keeping everyone in a pod they wouldn’t have gotten shut down because it wouldn’t have spread across the school. [/quote]

Do you know which one?[/quote]
Yup, but I’m not going to name names because the health department is involved now, so I assume that they will step up their game. No need to publicly shame them. I just wanted it to be clear that outbreaks can and have happened. [/quote]
And I am the poster from right above. I wish that the health departments would/could take a more active role in advising centers what the best practices are. My understanding is that the health department doesn’t step in until there is an outbreak, which is ridiculous. [/quote]

Maybe not but best practices aren’t rocket science. We all know pretty well now what to do. Small group sizes. No mixing between the groups. Masks. Lots of hand washing. As much outside time as possible. Good ventilation inside. Temp checks at drop off. No parents inside the facility. Etc. But some of the daycares haven’t even implemented masks and small group sizes, so they need to start there.[/quote]
Yup, you would think that this is common sense by now, but my daycare has split each class into two groups and is planning to have kids switch off teachers each week. If one of the kids or teachers is contagious on Friday but not symptomatic until Tuesday you have just compromised both groups. I need child care, so I don’t want to be too squeaky of a wheel, but this just strikes me as being so dumb. [/quote]
