[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - temperature has been normal since Saturday morning. Pediatrician said don’t get a covid test because he had no Covid symptoms. So what I hear everyone here saying is that any illness means no school for 2 weeks?  That is definitely not the guidance from our school, but I guess I Can keep him home if his voice is still raspy tomorrow (his only remaining symptom).

You definitely send. 99 is not a fever and without any other symptoms he’s fine. Keeping out of school for two weeks for a sniffle is crazy. You’re hearing the super conservative opinion above, those of us who are actually sending kids to school know that colds and other things didn’t disappear bc of Covid. [/quote]
It’s crazy to keep kids at home for every sniffle and sneeze, especially since you have consulted your doctor.. And some of us have to go in to the office. [/quote]

It's not crazy during a pandemic.  You can get a Covid test, and if it's negative, send the child back.  If you can NOT get a covid test, yes I would keep the child home for another few days.  Maybe not 14, but that would give you and DH time to possibly start experiencing symptoms if your child had spread it to you.[/quote]
