To reopen safely, the Rhode Island Department of Human Services (RIDHS) required licensed centerand home-based child care programs to reduce enrollment, initially to a maximum of 12 persons, including staff members, in stable groups (i.e., staff members and students not switching between groups) in physically separated spaces, increasing to a maximum of 20 persons on June 29. The identification of 101 possible child care-associated COVID-19 cases resulted in closures of 89 classes and quarantine of 687 children and 166 staff members, including contacts. The third program had two cases with symptom onset dates indicating potential transmission; however, no epidemiologic link was identified. ./cache/cord-257778-xwu1gdak.txt ./txt/cord-257778-xwu1gdak.txt
