good afternoon one and all

02:05:22
good afternoon, it takes up to 14 days for symptoms to appear, how long after exposure does it take to test positive?

02:05:52
potential

02:07:21
@Katherine Williams we see a doll in your camera view, I think you need to turn the camera around

02:15:44
For some reason I wasnt able to get in the meeting. sorry!

02:15:50
what are the chances of newborns contracting

02:19:27
These resources are posted at www.oacas.org

02:19:37
Thank you for your attendance.

02:20:57
Hi, can you give us information on Kawasaki disease? it was on the new today and a few children have it in Montreal and the number of children is larger in Europe

02:21:07
If children are required to attend face to face access with parents what protocols would you suggest for when the reenter the home ? Ie. clothes in wash, etc

02:23:39
Thank you Katharine!

02:23:42
Is infection rate in children low or is it possible that they just aren't symptomatic and are spreading virus?

02:23:56
384!

02:23:56
Thank you Katharine!!

02:24:06
any particular recommendations re: young children with HIV?

02:24:32
hello everyone

02:24:48
Awesome information Katharine! 👌👏 Thank you 😊

02:25:03
How do we protect our workers as face-to-face access is now being introduced for children in care? how do we protect the children? and Families? From as health and safety standpoint, our members are concerned.

02:25:08
what suggestions do you have to ease caregivers worries about allowing safe access with bioparents and minimzing risk of bringing covid back into foster home?

02:25:14
Hi Catharine, will children in care be required to take the vaccine if one is introduced? particularly children without a physical or mental problem

02:25:58
Will child welfare workers be offered a vaccine once it is introduced?

02:26:15
Are the tests in Canada accurate and reliable and readily available? What kind of tests are they, blood, swabs etc?

02:26:32
I heard today that there is new research that children are not carriers of Covid-19. With all of the different sources, is this a true story?

02:27:18
also, do you have any resources to share related to supporting children's MH needs during the pandemic?

02:27:30
Can someone get the virus more than once?

02:28:30
as a foster parent, once access visits are reinstated with bio families, for older youth social distancing may be a little easier to manage. however, for younger children, it may be very difficult. what can we do to mitigate exposure in these situations.

02:29:12
what is effective screening if ppl are sick and don't know?

02:30:09
it is allergy season for some how do I know the difference?

02:30:59
You have mentioned leaving objects in a garage. How long should it be left. How long does the virus live on objects? in the air?

02:31:06
what about kids in care and does not have no immunization

02:32:02
should we give masks for children playing outside in the yard? how about other activities such as biking?

02:32:14
frontline workers and the children as well?

02:33:27
What agent should we clean surfaces with to protect against this virus?

02:33:54
yes the workers.

02:35:21
What would you recommend if the foster parent/kin caregiver is immune compromised and child is to attend access visits with a parent?

02:36:08
During access visits between parents and children would you recommend PPE for all parties involved in the access visit and to what level. i.e. is a surgical mask and gloves enough or if symptom free would washing hands and distancing be enough.

02:37:02
are you saying that we should ignore what the World Health Organization is telling us about social distancing. when it comes to access

02:38:07
what if access leads to an outbreak in the fostering community

02:38:14
Will OACAS be developing policies around access visits, worker, family, kin contact with each other again. What baselines will have to be met in order to restart the process, a lot of the foster parent community falls in the older segments of society?

02:38:37
like what is happening in the nursing homes

02:40:14
Thank you!!!!

02:41:23
would you suggest salt water to gargle also for nasal irrigation .

02:41:35
what about kids who does not have immunizations and in care with the agency.Are they at risk

02:41:42
Thank you Catherine & Wendy

02:42:40
that was my question too

02:43:35
MD are giving immunization but only one foster care giver allowed call early for appointments

02:45:12
How affective is hand sanitizer if no access to wash hands Ie: in the car leaving grocery store, appointment?

02:47:18
what kind of "wipes" should be used? I have heard Lysol doesn't work and one should use alcohol wipes is this accurate?
