[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happens in winter when more kids have a bit coughing and stuffy nose /runny nose? [/quote]

A bit of coughing and stuffy nose aren’t on the list.  Persistent coughing will mean you need to test.  [/quote]

No - the list doesn’t say “a lot of coughing” - any cough counts [/quote]

There is a differentiation if said child has a documented history of asthma. But new persistent cough yes going home
[/quote]

The schools can't even track distance for close contacts. They're not going to differentiate symptoms based off a doctor's note.[/quote]

The school shouldn't be tracking close contacts, DHHS should.  The schools know how far apart desks are in the classrooms and that is 0 feet. DHHS should also be evaluating a student, looking at their medical history and determining if a symptom is possibly COVID or is it attributed to another health issue.  But they aren't. [/quote]

It's not zero feet. It's taken from the middle of the desk to the middle of the next desk. So if they are touching, maybe two feet. If they are not, then likely three or more feet.[/quote]
