[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry if this has already been discussed but what if the student experiencing the one symptom has been vaccinated? Will the close contacts have to quarantine then too? My vaccinated 13 yr old sometimes coughs from mild asthma and it can just happen mid day or whatever. For example,  running at PE class.

Your 13 year old [b]is not in close contacts with unvaccinated children,[/b] and the "close contact" policy only applies to unvaccinated kids.  Which is a problem in itself, because we know Delta spread among the vaccinated as well. Not as much, but probably enough to disrupt middle and high school, as we saw this week...[/quote]

Are you aware that MCPS has not yet enacted a vaccination requirement for students? This poster's 13 year old may very  well be in close contact with many unvaccinated children. [/quote]

A 13 year old is in 7th, 8th or 9th.  If they are in middle school, many of the classes, especially math and electives are 6, 7, 8th and many 6th and some fall birthday 7th graders will not be vaccinated. However, you can still get and spread covid vaccinated so it  makes sense to quarantine everyone.[/quote]
