COVID-19 guidance updates and resources

Child Care, Youth Development and Day Camps during COVID-19 (wa.gov): This update includes new information on COVID-19 vaccination, updated recommendations for isolation and quarantine, information on testing, and the continued importance of wearing well-fitting masks. One overarching change of note is the shift to expand the K-12 Test to Stay modified quarantine approach for eligible individuals to child care, youth development, and day camp program. This means many school-age programs (typically age five and older) can use similar quarantine options as K-12 schools, creating better alignment for families with school-age children.
