A member asked:
What happens if there was a known case of staph at your childrens' schoolwould you send them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If the center had other issues that raised concerns I might reconsider.Your kids are exposed to staph every day of their life on multiple surfaces in your home, out of doors, and anywhere you go.Normal hand washing and hygienic practices will usually contain it.
