If a vaccinated child is highly exposed to COVID at home but remains healthy, parents may decide to keep the child at home for the sake of others’ protection as reported by Nation World News.
Reducing risk
Masks must be taken off at lunchtime. But this measure would go above and beyond federal recommendations, and only one expert I spoke to recommended it. Should I try to reduce the risk at home, even if it seems pointless?
As parents know, the term “close contact” takes on a whole new meaning with young children, who have the uncanny ability to sneeze in your face. Still, experts agreed that reducing the risk of each other’s diseases is still worth the effort.
There is a short window of time when this is particularly important – between exposure and when the immune system begins to fully engage.
The parents have to look after the children, and some siblings cannot be kept apart. Still, there are steps you can take. Anyone who is sick should be in their room first, if possible. Put a HEPA filter in there if you have one. Try to stay there for the sick person to eat. Wear high-quality masks when family members are together.
Open the windows
Keep another HEPA filter, if you have two, where other family members are spending time. Another pro-tip: Keep the air at 40 to 60% humidity, which helps prevent aerosol transmission, Dr Pirzada said, by using a hygrometer or humidifier to measure the level.
Use common sense
Once the air filters are in operation, windows are broken down and masks are put on when possible; If a young child is sick, trying too hard can feel like too much. “If my child were sick, my natural instinct would be to take care of them,” said Dr Linsey Marr, a leading specialist in viral transmission. “I could see my hands thrown up, trusting in vaccines and my good health to keep me from becoming seriously ill and caressing my baby.,”
The good news is that once you test positive, you’re unlikely to get sick from coming into contact with other family members, experts agreed. And it is unlikely that family members who recover first will still be reinfected by sick people.
