[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you in MoCo, what is happening with quarantine rules with no masks? Our daycare said they have to keep masks because MoCo DHHS ties quarantine policies to the use of masks for children under 5--when there is an exposure and children are masked, the quarantine is 5 days compared to 10 without masks. They said they are keeping masks until this changes because no wants longer quarantines.[/quote]

I've never heard of treating an unmasked exposure differently from a masked exposure.

When our daycare announced the mask optional policy they did not announce a change to quarantine guidelines (I actually don't know what our quarantine guidelines are - back in January it was 10 days).[/quote]

I have discovered that what DHHS puts in writing and what is says to parents and providers are two different things.[/quote]

It is implied at the bottom:

As a footnote to the 5 day quarantine for unvaccinated, it says that because children under 2 cannot wear masks, they must quarantine for 10 days. So the implication is that if unvaccinated children 2-4 don't wear masks, they must also quarantine for 10 days.[/quote]

I can’t blame anybody or any daycare for thinking differently. The messaging has been confusing, and a lot of people are afraid to change because they don’t want to have this on the record.

And I wish I could help people understand that right now mask for childcare settings has been dropped. There was an email sent out that was extremely clear about this. It’s still recommended masking and it’s always the individual choice etc..[/quote]
