Syllieann Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) My son played outside with his friend for about an hour on Wednesday evening. They played a game where they were about ten feet apart for the first half hour or so. Then they rode bikes for the other half hour, so probably 6-10 feet apart outdoors without masks. There were a few times they would come less than 6 feet, but I think in total it was under 15 minutes. I'm just not sure though. It could be 5 minutes at 2 feet and 5 minutes at 5 feet or something like that. Friend's Pfizer-vaxed mom developed symptoms Thursday night and tested positive on Friday morning. (DS was never around the mom.) Friend woke up with symptoms this morning (Sunday). I think it's not technically close contact since it was less than 15 minutes under 6 feet, but would you test him? If so, on which day? Eta: I found on the cdc site that "close contacts" are those within 48 hours of symptom onset. So we are ok I think? But maybe we should still test?

Spryte Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) I don’t think you *have* to test, and he’s probably in the clear and just fine, but I might do a Binax at home test on Days 3 and 5 or so. For my peace of mind. Obviously, if he develops symptoms that would change things. I hope his friend’s mom is ok, and friend, too!

Probably just a few weeks shy of being vaccinated too, boo. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ausmumof3 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I don’t think you have to test but I probably would just for peace of mind. At least they were outdoors. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
