My live-out nanny tested positive for Covid last night. What protocols should I follow? When can she be back to work? Should I ask her to wear a mask when she’s back? For now, I told her to stay home till next Tuesday. My daughter is 14 months old and hasn’t gotten Covid, the vaccine or any sort of immunity towards it. I want to be as careful as I can!

We had our nanny come back after 5 days, without a mask

That’s what I’m thinking of asking her to do

This is what I would suggest based on our recent experience… depends on her symptoms / level of discomfort but if she’s feeling pretty good she should do a rapid test after 5 days and if it’s decreasing in positivity (fainter or gone) then she can return with a tight fitting mask until she’s no longer testing positive. I would buy her the rapid tests also. It’s not a perfect indicator for contagiousness but rapids are pretty good at detecting levels of active virus and you can get a good idea of when you’re starting to get better.

Thank you! Your suggestion is very helpful.
