Backstory: my wife's grandpa died last Thursday night from heart failure. He went into hospital with heart failure on the 23rd of December. On the 12th we had lunch with the in-laws later that day we found out he tested positive while in the hospital.

We kept our kiddo home Wednesday through end of week last week with intention to send him back tomorrow.

Found out this morning that the grandma who we had lunch with now has Covid. She was tested either Thursday or Friday.

Should we keep the kiddo home all week again to avoid a mass outbreak at the daycare or is the chances of it being passed slim?

The unknown element is when grandpa contracted it and exposed grandma/FiL. If it was post Tuesday lunch I would think we are okay.

Sorry for the rambling.

I'm a bit confused about the chronology. Can you highlight when the exposure was to the contagious person and how long it has been?

Sorry I figured it was a mess.

Tuesday, 12th: we had lunch with my wife's parents and grandma at Grandma's house.

Tuesday, afternoon: My father-in-law and grandma went to the hospital to see grandpa. While there they were told Grandpa was positive. The hospital could not give us details on when he became positive because they don't do daily testing.


That's where it gets messy, my father-in-law and grandma had been visiting daily so we don't know if the grandma was exposed before or after the last time we saw her on Tuesday the 12th.

She took a test either Thursday(14th) or Friday(15th) with it coming back today(17th) positive.

We pulled the kiddo out of daycare Tuesday(12th) afternoon and he hasn't been back since. So our exposure and kiddo's exposure to last know contiguous person was the 12th at the lunch.

Is that clear as mud?

Ok. The most conservative approach would be whole family gets a test, and this is about the right timing for the test (5-7 days after exposure to confirmed positive). Y'all should quarantine till after test results back.

Not a doctor, just been doing damned covid math for awhile after it swept through our house at Christmas.

Thanks, I guess we'll just bite the bullet and stay home from daycare all week and if we show symptoms then we'll get tested.

Don't really want to put an 8th month old through it unless we have more cause.

I'd conservatively consider the 12th your "exposure " date and follow cdc guidelines from there

I'd probably keep the kids out this week too, return 25 (especially if you and the wife get tested and are negative)
