[quote=Anonymous][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?

After a year and a half of wearing masks, I can say with experience that masks didn’t make any difference. In the context of your questions, [b]if a MASKED student was sitting next to another MASKED student who tested positive for COVID, the student(s) sitting next to them are considers a close contact and asked to quarantine.[/b] And that’s with all kids masked.

Kinda shows you how much faith anyone had that wearing a mask did anything …

I imagine it will remain the same now that masks are optional. If a kid tests positive, any kids who were deemed in close contact before will continue to be deemed a close contact, regardless of anyone’s mask decisions. Nothing will change in that regard.[/quote]

That was not our experience this fall.  My dd tested positive and the masked kids that she sits with were not required to quarantine.  Nor did they get sick. [/quote]
