[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly I don't think they will quarantine whole classes this year like they did last year.  The new CDC guidance allows the possibility that if one kid tests positive it's possible that no kids will have to quarantine (depending on how lunch is interpreted). [/quote]

OSSE has stated that the close contact rules do not apply to lunch.  If your child is sitting within 6 feet of a student who later tests positive your child will have to quarantine (unless vaccinated). Ferebee stated today all lunchrooms will have assigned seating. [/quote]

But "close contact" is still someone within 6 feet for longer than 15 minutes without a mask.  It's not that the "close contact" rules don't apply at all (which would mean that, say, the entire cafeteria must quarantine from one kid testing positive), it's just that they are different whether you are masked or not (in school).[/quote]

Agree but I have little faith that only 1 or 2 kids are going to be positive.  I think the first month there are going to be lots of kids out (no matter if it is class quarantine or not).   Lunch only exacerbates the problem. [/quote]
