I'm in Australia. Here if your child is a "close contact" (say someone in class is +ve) you have to do RATs for 5-7 days to keep sending them to school or care.

It happened a lot for a while but is quieter now. Any slight symptom (spend a lot of time judging how runny noses are) also = take a RAT. The rules change a lot and are slightly different in every state. The worst part was the rules started while RATs were very hard to get, people were paying $10 - $30 a test because the alternative was take a day of carer's leave. The costs added up very quickly with x kids by y days.
