[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Woah. Given the vaccine was 12% effective this seems insane. Asymptomatic negative kids have to stay home for a full week of school?? [/quote]

Ok so to summarize:
MCPS got rid of the mask mandate
As of literally this week, they said based on cdc guidance and dept of health guidance, they no longer needed to contact trace
Cdc guidance still says unvaxxed individuals need to quarantine after close contact
But since mcps isn’t contact tracing, unvaxxed individuals in a class or activity or grade level now need to quarantine for 5 days if 3 or more students test positive

So even if a not-sick child, who can’t control whether his parents vaccinated him, showed up to school religiously wearing a kn95 mask, and tested negative (!!) he must miss up to a week of school because other children decided to go maskless in his class and infect each other? And the school dropped all the mitigations?

Just so everyone knows, our school got a letter too. It said students who are eligible for the booster but not boosted would have to quarantine too unless they had covid in the last 90 days. My kids are too young for the booster, but this is getting ridiculous considering there is no vaccine (or booster) mandate and no one was notified of this policy change in advance. [/quote]
