[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Testing 3-5 days is what is recommended, so that if you got exposed on the last day of travel it would likely be caught by the test.  If you get tested the day you get home, a negative test would be meaningless from a travel perspective.

I'm not judging people for traveling - we just got back from visiting in laws in the midwest.  But I think it's reasonable at the very least to take the test 3-5 days after you get back and to lay low until you get the negative results.[/quote]

I just think it’s weird to single out certain risks for testing and not others.  My vaccinated parents are traveling to see us in a couple weeks- no testing required on our end.  The only difference in the reverse trip (us visiting them) would be stopping for a couple bathroom breaks.  Where they live has even lower covid rates than here![/quote]

Then open up your own preschool and set the rules you want.  Otherwise, stick to the rules they are requiring and rest.[/quote]

Asking that you “consider” doing something is different than stating it as a rule or regulation....especially if they are just bringing this up now in a newsletter and there was no prior guidance. In this case upon “considering” I would be comfortable opting not to quarantine/test (absent a more specific exposure concern) given that as op notes, travel is no more inherently risky than any number of other activities.
