By stopping to read the actual guidance, instead of believing a sh1tstirrer who says runny noses will be banned from school.

I’m the OP. As far as I’m aware the actual guidance has not been shared yet. From anecdotal reports at multiple schools I understood that cold symptoms were included, but I’m heartened to hear that where schools have shared written guidance it doesn’t include colds. However coughs, headache and sore throat are all very common. Current test positivity is 3.4 percent.

THREE POINT FOUR PERCENT!

[b]so almost 97% of those cases will lead to unnecessarily keeping entire classes of kids out of school for up to ten days.[/b] Ridiculous.[/quote]

No, that doesn't follow. Presumably most of the tests were done on asymptomatic people. My family accounts for about 10 tests since the pandemic started, and we've never had any symptoms (or positive tests, either).[/quote]
