What will it take to safely reopen daycares?
So how might these facilities open up, and what would that look like?
As these daycares have continued to operate, theCDC has issued guidelineson necessary preventive measures.
These stringent requirements [are] critical for preventing spread, Weatherhead says.
These measures have been in place at some facilities these past few months.
Daycares need to communicate with their staff and parents as to what is going on, Weatherhead says.
That communication is going to be critical.
If anyone within the household starts developing symptoms, they will need to keep their kids home.
This is where participation of everyone within the community is required, Weatherhead says.
Chang cautions that antibody testing might not be as helpful as people are hoping.
Just because you have antibodies doesnt necessarily mean you are immune from reinfection, Chang says.
In turn, kids tend to get their parents sick with whatever they are bringing home.
For some reason, COVID-19 doesnt seem to be acting this way.
It seems like adults are infecting kids, rather than kids infecting adults, Chang says.
We need a plan for opening without a vaccine
One more thing?
We might need to open up schools and daycares before we have a vaccine.
