@TheReader The cake stand and hat box idea is spectacular! Those can be found affordably and easily! Thank you, again.

Both. I would like something to set on the table, but that would allow changing of different sets. The Pottery Barn basket is the closest I've found so far, but would like 2 or 3 holders. At $70+ each to house inexpensive placemats, it just isn't an investment I want to make. I was hoping to find something similar in style, but more affordable. I like the magazine holder idea.

That was the length of her quarantine, so I am guessing it's common. Thank you.

My college attending daughter worked with someone who tested positive for Covid-19. She was not in the employee group who was required to be tested, but alerted her university anyway. They (obviously) advised her to quarantine and be tested, which she did. After her test results came back negative the university required her to continue her quarantine. She didn't mind the quarantine, because she is a commuter and it gave her extra time to work on her classes. Is it a common thing to be required to continue a quarantine after testing negative? I understand that there is an incubation per
