Hi Fellow DCP,

How long do you ask your parents to keep their kids away after a pretty bad Gastro Flu. I have a DCB that is very sick with a Stomach Flu and hasn't come to daycare in three days he's so sick, so much so that mom and dad brought him to the hospital as they worried that all this vomiting would lead to dehydration. Normally I ask for 24 hours of symptom free but everywhere I read on the internet (damn Dr. Google) it says they are contagious for three days after and up to two weeks........WHAT??? ??? That's crazy, another one of my moms are very concerned as she is going on a vacation with her daughter and really doesn't want her daughter getting sick before her vacation.........WWY D?
How long do you ask them to stay away for?

Thanks in advance for all your input
