    Viral Meningitis

    Good morning everyone. Hope everyone's weekend was amazing.😊..Just curious what you guys can tell me about viral meningitis. Would it be ok to let someone who has had close contact with someone who has viral meningitis come around the daycare?

    I know the meningitis itself is not contagious, but I am thinking that the virus that caused it is. I was not told which virus caused this meningitis. Thank you all ..😊

    @Blackcat31..I know this is probably a stupid question but, would you allow someone who was exposed to someone with viral meningitis to attend daycare?

      Nope. Not until I knew FOR SURE they were beyond the exposure timeline. With little ones not fully vaccinated and those with compromised immune systems (child/adult) I just wouldn't feel comfortable exposing them or even possibly exposing them to something so serious. Not knowing someone was exposed is one thing but because you do know, I would feel compelled to protect the kiddos and do what I can to not expose anyone to any type of illness or virus going around.

      ...and no, it's not a stupid question. It's confusing now days with the excess of info that we have access to so I try to err on the side of caution anytime I am unsure but those are the types of questions I would absolutely ask too!
