[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes! Masked, playing outside.  Sheesh, what are we doing to our kids? Let them see their friends, it's been 6 months.  Have them sanitize their hands before and after playing.[/quote]

"Sanitize their hands?"  Have you been asleep since April?  The predominant transmission risk has nothing to do with their hands.[/quote]

NP, yes, this is true AND the time "fomite" transmission does come into play is when they touch their faces or eat something right after. With younger kids, especially, there's risk of them touching their faces (eyes/nose/mouths) more and not thoroughly washing hands before eating with them, etc. In terms of sanitizing or thoroughly washing before play-- lots of kids might have just eaten something or picked their noses or whatever before leaving the house.

Sanitizing hands really couldn't hurt, and could help *in a global pandemic*.[/quote]

Like... there's a difference between thinking you need to treat all of your groceries to a bleach bath (we now understand this is overkill) and making sure your young child's hands are very clean before/after a visit to a playground with friends.[/quote]
