[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So both parents are working from home trying to quarantine kids without childcare?

If parents have Covid and kids do not, those kids are going to be quarantining for a long time. Their quarantine starts from last exposure so Day 10 of parents having Covid.[/quote]

This is not accurate if the kids are over 5 years old and vaccinated.  The CDC has been revising the guidelines over the past 6-8 months.  The showing symptoms is the key factor.  We had Omicron in our house in January and then 6 weeks later.  We kept testing and 2 consistently tested negative and were allowed to go to school since the showed no symptoms 5 days after exposure plus tested negative.[/quote]

Pp here. My vaccinated kids didn’t miss any school when one kid got Covid. My unvaccinated preschool child had to quarantine for 5 days and could return to school with a negative PCR.

My point was that if kids are young and ages 1 and 3 are young, the kid’s quarantine starts from last exposure to parent and that last exposure won’t start until Day 10 of parents getting Covid.[/quote]

NP.  Yes, this is why those of us with children too young for vaccination are living in a completely different world these days.[/quote]

So much yes. I (mom) got Covid and it was caught on a test we are required to take to enter our office. So my kids (1, 3 & 3) had to stay home from daycare for five days past my day 10. On day 8 my husband was supposed to leave the country for work and tested to leave and he pooped positive. So the kids had to start their quarantine over. After over a month not in school the one year old has a runny nose and small cough and got sent home for daycare and has to quarantine for 10 days. He doesn’t have a test to return policy at his daycare. I did test him though and he is negative. I get so tired of people forgetting some of us are still stuck in this cycle. [/quote]

You have to stay home for 10 days for a runny nose and cough???

Can’t the kid just stay home until he is better?

Our very strict preschool has a no sick policy so would be sent home for same symptoms but kid can return back to school after getting better. You used to need a negative pcr for any symptoms but they just recently got rid of that. You just have to stay home if you are sick. [/quote]
