[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What I said was that requiring a PCR for a previously-symptomatic child to return to daycare before a full 10-day exclusion could help prevent a superspreader event.  That is in line with CDC guidance and that of other medical professionals.  I did not say that would be the only policy put into place to prevent superspreader events.  [/quote]

A 10-day exclusion is not the current CDC guidance. Current guidance as of August states you don’t have to stay home after exposure if you don’t develop symptoms. It recommends testing 6 days after a known exposure, and you can end your isolation with a negative test. Even if the child had tested positive, which OP’s didn’t, CDC says isolation can end “after day 5 if you are fever free for 24 hours”. [/quote]

If I’m not mistaken that is guidance with masking. Many daycare‘s don’t mask and that is where the 10 days come in.[/quote]

Not anymore. “If you have access to antigen tests, you should consider using them. With two sequential negative tests 48 hours apart, you may remove your mask sooner than day 10.” https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/isolation.html

Antigen tests are home rapid tests. [/quote]

Thanks. That’s good for me to know. [/quote]
