Follow CDC guideline: Keep social distance, have children/adults wash hands, and have both adults and children wear masks. Have as much ventilation as possible, and disinfect anything given to children, except food. Keep the children away from people who may be very vulnerable to COVID-19. Check children for fever twice a day, and cough, sneezing, etc. every day. Contact their pediatrician for more information.

COVID 19: That would be a personal choice but if children have asymptomatic infection - they may infect those they are staying with. Wash hands often with warm water & soap for at least 20 seconds. Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth unless hands have just been washed. Use a face covering or mask when in public. Practice social distancing – stay at least 6 feet from others
