[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The flowchart is in this doc for anyone having trouble like myself understanding what it means.

I don't understand what they mean by this:
"Person (child, care provider, educator, other
staff) with 1 new symptom not meeting the
definition of COVID-19-like illness."

What are examples of a "new symptom not meeting the
definition of COVID-19-like illness"?  In the box above that one, it seems established that runny nose/congestion IS a possible Covid symptom, and that combined with another symptom in that list, would warrant exclusion.  [/quote]

“For the purposes of this decision aid, COVID-19-like illness is defined as: Any 1 of the following: cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, new 
loss of taste or smell, OR At least 2 of the following: fever of 100.4o or higher (measured or subjective), chills or shaking chills, muscle aches, sore throat, 
headache, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, and congestion or runny nose.”

A new symptom is any of the symptoms listed. To be “covid like” it must meet their criteria.[/quote]

Then why have the categories of one symptoms and two symptoms at all?   Am I just being really obtuse here?[/quote]

Yes, this is what our daycare (MD) says, too. Runny nose okay as long as it's the only symptom. If it is combined with something else then you stay home.[/quote]
