[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be clear, contact tracing is on school employees, not actual department of health contact tracers. It’s very possible there’s missed contacts. I’m not saying for sure there are but I am saying school staff are stretched thin and aren’t professional contact tracers. [/quote]

Even “professional contact tracers” are newly trained and inexperienced. This job didn’t exist 9 months ago. That said, the guidelines for close contact are pretty straight forward:

Less than 6’ for cumulative 15 minutes up to 48 hours before onset of symptoms or positive test. This isn’t rocket science. And the classrooms are purposefully designed to have no close contacts. Teachers have no reason to lie about close contacts and in fact quite the opposite - it benefits them if people who need to quarantine do so.

It’s working!![/quote]

You are right teachers don’t have reason to lie but I would encourage you to look into the very many workarounds of that “15 minute “ exposure rule to claim there wasn’t exposure when there very well was. Again, I am not saying there is for sure many close contacts. I am saying there is really no way you’re going to know based on current resources and policies. [/quote]

Why would a teacher or admin claim there wasn’t exposure when there was? Please give an example because I truly cannot

think of any.[/quote]

I pretty clearly said a TEACHER would not say there wasn’t any exposure if they felt there was. What someone else later says about the duration or “well it might only have been 14” or “can you prove you were within 6 feet” is a different story. Districts are going to be working very hard to limit any suggestion it is spreading in schools. [/quote]
