Pandemic Survival Guide: What Should Parents Ask About Play Dates For Kids?

Even in a pandemic, kids need to run around and have some fun.

But what happens when your child is asked to come to a play date with other children?

According to HuffPost, the most important thing parents should ask is whether the playdate is to be held indoors or outdoors.

Second, pay attention to what's happening in your local area with respect to novel coronavirus COVID-19 cases.

In a hot spot?

Decline the invite.

Third, what will the kids will be doing, and what will they be eating?

Close contact activities are out.

Kids should bring their own food and not share.

Finally, ask if anyone in the family has had a cough or fever in the past two weeks.

If the answer's yes, then your answer should be "no, thanks!"
