[quote=Anonymous]Depending on your state but in MD here are the requirements

For the purposes of this guidance, COVID-19-LIKE ILLNESS is defined as: Any one of the
following: cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, new loss of taste or smell OR At least
2 of the following: fever of 100.4o or higher (measured or subjective), chills or shaking chills,
muscle aches, sore throat, headache, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, and congestion or
runny nose.

Centers are excluding based on this guidance.  It is not up to us, but these rules were sent to us by the government.  If a child it excluded because they have symptoms, it's not because we don't like the child, want to make your life harder, or because it's easier without your child.  It is because we have to follow these rules so that all the other children don't get sick.

If you want to know why (in general) there are so many sick kids in daycare it's because there are many selfish parents who will knowingly drop off a sick child.  They always blame allergies or teething.  Because there are selfish parents, during COVID we must be very strict with exclusions and when kids can come back.  "It's Allergies" can easily be COVID, that is why these rules exist. (I know this does not apply to any parent reading this because none of you would ever drop a sick kid off). [/quote]
