Covid19: If their are two adults in the home, the COVID 19 positive parent should isolate in one room with door closed the majority of the time. The parent who has not tested positive can take on the majority of the interactions with the children to help prevent disease transmission. If there has to be interaction with infected parent, use mask, wash hand & socially distance if possible.
