[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I wasn't trying to whine about having to do the telehealth appointment or take my son to get tested. I was trying to use a real life situation to show how that this isn't easy. Excluding kids from school raises equity issues. Kids from lower income families are less likely to have parents available to take them for testing and therefore, to get them back into school if the test is positive. Students with asthma may wind up being excluded more than non-asthmatic students, which create an equity issue. These issues have to be considered. Lower income families have less sick leave and are therefore more likely to send their kids to school if they are sick.

I think the rules would have to be written so that no one with any of the symptoms, including just a cough, is permitted to come to school. It has to be very clear. If you have ANY of these symptoms, stay home.

All of this makes me so sad.

My guess will be symptomatic quarantine 14 days. + Covid isolate 10 with 3 being symptom free NO FEVER reducing meds. Per protocol .
The sooner people do this now / quarantine exposed family members/contacts too. The sooner schools can open. I am sure the school health clinics will have a protocol in place as well. [/quote]
