[quote=Anonymous]Btw rapid tests are very good if you are symptomatic and repeat the test for several days. What is happening is that the daycare is assuming:
1. Any child that was sick last week had COVID because one family reported a positive case
2. The best way to prevent further spread is to effectively force kids that have recovered to stay home at least one more day

Both of these assumptions are dumb and do little to protect anyone. There are other things besides COVID going around. The more you force parents to keep kids home, the less able they are to keep kids home when symptoms first emerge, which is when they are most contagious. If you assume OP's child had COVID, which is a big assumption, then they are likely less infectious than the kids that got directly exposed on Friday and will start to show symptoms in the middle of this week. The awesome thing is that OP's child will return to care in Tuesday, catch COVID from these infectious kids and then OP will be out of work for almost a month. This is not sustainable.
