[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think their daughter has COVID, logic dictates you think you are now a close contact of someone with COVID (close contact is defined by 15 minutes, and you admit the kids were together on the playground).  And yet, here you are at school, and I am guessing you did not get a PCR test.  So, if you are going to be upset at her, you also have to be upset at yourself.  [/quote]

Nooo playground is not equivalent to indoor contact that tested positive. [/quote]

Close contact is defined by[b] being near someone with COVID for 15 minut[/b]es; indoor/outdoor is not specified.  If the daughter was a confirmed case, OP's child would have had close contact.  [/quote]

In your own statement it is someone [u]with [/u]COVID not presumptive for COVID. The reason why the other kid should quarantine is because she had close contact with a known COVID individual but there is no guarantee that she is positive. That is what quarantining is for. She should test. IF she test positive then she ISOLATES and the OPs son could/could not need to quarantine/test. You need 15 minutes of sustained exposure. Outside on a playground does not necessarily meet that threshold since theyd need to be directly with one another for 15 minutes total.

Have you seen 3.5 year olds play? Not likely.

On the website CDC states "A number of factors can influence a person’s risk of exposure to COVID-19, including the type, proximity, and duration of their exposure, environmental factors (such as crowding and ventilation), vaccination status, COVID-19 infection in the previous 90 days, and mask use."
