[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is hiring hundreds of contact tracers right now. Testing capacity will increase.

If they can manage to test asymptomatic people who have to be out in the community -- such as school kids and staff -- then schools can reopen.

But part of that is also pulling anyone from that environment who gets the virus immediately and putting the others who may have been exposed into a 14-day quarantine before they can return the school. Ideally, we'd do what other countries now do, and quarantine people away from their families (yes that's tricky with kids).

I think the above is the only scenario where schools open.

Test and contact trace. Repeat and repeat. [/quote]

So if a kid comes to school with a fever or develops a fever at school and it turns out to be Covid then the entire class stays home for 2 weeks?  What about at Deal where the kids are in classes with 150 kids daily?  Do all 150 stay home for 2 weeks?[/quote]

Then all it takes is 15 kids, one per team, to get sick and the whole school is out anyway.[/quote]
