[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t like how they avoided answering questions about kids recently coming out of isolation after getting COVID, but did appreciate that they reinforced that schools are an essential service and they’re committed to keeping them open (unavoidable situational closures aside). [/quote]

So what happens when kids coming out of isolation test positive on Jan 4? Do they go back into isolation until they test negative?[/quote]

My kids tested positive this week. Our plan (for now) is to let the school know next week and then [b]keep them home until 10 days after their initial positive test. They had mild symptoms which have already gone away. [/b]

I suppose if they want us to do something different, they’ll let us know. [/quote]

Why not rapid test them on Tuesday (as DCPS requested) and send them in on Wednesday if the rapids are negative?  That would comport with both CDC guidelines (five days) and the general purpose of rapid tests (a snapshot telling you if contagious at the time you take it).[/quote]
