Daycare Center and Family Home Forum>Quick Response Please...Should I Close Tomorrow? Son with Diarrhea

Hoping for quick responses...

My own 4-yr old son had diarrhea tonight. For daycare families I would require the child to stay home until diarrhea free for 24 hours.

In a normal year I would inform families and then let my son watch TV as much as he wanted tomorrow (yeh, not great) as a means of separating as much as possible.

BUT, this year I feel like I should close tomorrow and watch him. I'm sure he's probably fine, no contact with anyone who has covid that we know, but he's been (masked) in a few stores with me.

He, very occasionally can have a sensitive stomach to dairy but it doesn't usually present in this way. He had a normal BM after lunch, per usual, then this evening had three bouts of literal water poop (like, clear with a little bit of yellow). Sorry, TMI. He was eating and playing fine.

Would you close?

Ugh...I had a bunch of new families just start last week!
