PP here. Sorry, I meant to say the count of 5 days starts on the last date of contact from the covid positive person. So if the child lives with a covid positive person the day 1 starts the day after the covid positive person's 5th day after symptoms started (or test if no symptoms).

Our DC child care center follows the DC DOH for close contact quarantining. For 2 year olds and older who can start masks but are NOT vaccinated, they stay home for 5 days from the date of covid positive person's first day of symptoms (or covid test). Then test using antigen test on day 5. Return to care on days 6 thru 10 IF test was negative and cold will wear a mask inside and outside (even if center is mask optional, the close contact child's needs to be IN a mask)

For children less than 2 years of age, they need to stay home for 10 days, no test on day 5 to return on day 6.
