[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But fields and green spaces have been open throughout. It’s the playgrounds with equipment that are problematic from a health standpoint. [/quote] But how problematic are they really? Now that we know surface contacts are a low risk for transmission, and that the virus doesn't remain viable long on surfaces under real-world summer conditions, that pretty much just leaves child-to-child transmission. Given we also know kids are both less likely to pick up COVID, and also less likely to pass it on should they become infected, this sure looks like a manageable risk. Anyone that can should wear masks. Toddlers should stay stay away from others, seeking to limit anything beyond brief, incidental contacts. If you think really think playgrounds will be overrun, keep major regional playgrounds closed while opening local/neighborhood playgrounds.[/quote]
