[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So here’s a question I have: if a kid who wears a mask at school sits next to a kid who isn’t wearing a mask, and the unmasked kid tests positive for Covid, is the masked kid now considered a close contact when before they wouldn’t have been (because before both parties were wearing masks)?

I hope the anti mask and anti vax parents (many of whom are the same) are really thinking through what this means for their kids. It’s going to result in their kids having a higher chance of being sent home for several days at a time, perhaps repeatedly. I am not seeing how that’s better than just wearing a mask to school?

The communication from our school was somewhat confusing, but my impression is that vaxxed kids only need to isolate if they are symptomatic regardless of mask status.  However it does seem that if a vaccinated (or unvaccinated) student who is not wearing a mask ends up coming down with COVID more of the unvaccinated kids will be considered close contacts (unvaccinated kids within a six foot radius instead of a 3 foot radius). But I am not totally sure about that.

Regardless of what people do about masks, it seems like getting the kids vaccinated is a good way to avoid the quarantines. [/quote]
