[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is going to be an issue this spring, I worry.  Way too many people with mild cases who disregard the sniffles as "just allergies", and don't get tested.  Cold, flu and covid symptoms really overlap so if you want schools to stay open you need to assume those sniffles or that tickle in the throat might be something and keep your child home until tested.[/quote]

As a teacher, it’s frustrating because what might have been a one off sick day due to allergies or cold is now multiple days out while getting a negative test. So then what, to avoid that we just lie on Qualtrics? We already don’t have enough proctors so when teachers have to be out 3-5 days for some sniffles that are 90% allergies or a minor run of the mill cold it’s going to get difficult. [/quote]
You don’t have to get a covid test, your symptoms just need to subside. If Sudafed and allergy meds don’t clear it up then maybe you’d need a test. [/quote]

You do need to test. This is what has people freaked out. [/quote]
In APS or LCPS?[/quote]

LCPS [/quote]

This is not what our principal said. If your symptoms are something you experience with regularity you do not need to test.[/quote]
