[quote=Anonymous]UPDATE: Bad news: MoCo released updated quarantine and isolation guidance yesterday (https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/covid19/Resources/Files/quarantine/I-Q-guidance-schools-childcare.pdf) that deviates from the CDC and Maryland state guidance (https://health.maryland.gov/phpa/Documents/01.06.2022%20Memo%20School%20Childcare%20Guidance.pdf) by imposing a 10 (vs. 5) day quarantine for exposed children under 5.

Please urgently reach out the officials below via email and Twitter.

Here are sample messages to send:

&quot;@MoCoDHHS is contradicting the state and CDC by requiring a 10 (vs. 5) day quarantine for children &lt;5. This is unconscionable & will cause the collapse of childcare as an essential service, cost parents their jobs, & drive flight from MoCo daycares. Please help.&quot;

&quot;If @MoCoDHHS' rationale is that kids under 5 don’t mask all day, note that MD's guidance accounts for this fact. And ask your colleagues to reckon with the cruelty of forcibly masking toddlers and preschoolers while imposing policies that treat them as if they’re fully unmasked.&quot;
