[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The more I think about this, the more it doesn't make sense to keep all kids home for 10 days when they are exposed to each other. They've already by definition been exposed. Do a PCR test of all the kids in the class when there's an exposure, the negative kids can continue to come in, the positives stay home. Everyone tests daily with PCR for 10 days (or whatever). If you first tested positive you follow the DCPS quarantine rules (something like you need two negatives to come back). The kids continuing to test negative stay in.[/quote] I think this is right. And you don't actually shut down / quarantine classes unless there is significant spread at some threshold within a school. Which is similar to how lots of other diseases have been treated for years - the bar to determine it's time to shut down exists, but is fairly high.[/quote] This is also probably a better use of testing resources.[/quote]
