Can day care centers remain open during the coronavirus pandemic?

Daycare centers: This is up to the individual states or local governing entities. Best practices dictate that they remain close during the COVID-19 global pandemic due to the fact that daycare centers entail very close contact between children and caregivers. If they are allowed to be open in your locale, the decision to avail of their services fall solely on the parents and guardians.

Policies differ: In some areas day care centers have closed. In other areas they remain open to children of first responders (medical providers, police, etc.).
