Does it even make sense for them to do that if it's only one symptom?

It makes no sense, it was a problem before (kids getting send home with runny noses), now it's even more strict and no testing available anymore. Isolation period doesn't make sense either, 24hr symptom free. If they had found a reason to check off another 'symptom' like muscle ache / joint pain (which he was complaining about at home. His teacher is originally a phys ed teacher and likes to drill the kids in class with lots of excercises. After 5 weeks home, yep he was feeling sore the next day) then his brother would have been send home as well...

Anyway he wasn't nauseous, didn't vomit, no diarrhea, so no idea why they marked that off when he just had some congestion or acid reflux. Do they have a quota to send home or something? So far 1.5 days at school this year lol.

This is dumb. I have allergies. When the pandemic started I was about to finish my last year at school. If every time someone had a runny nose they'd get send home, half the class would have been gone very quickly. Imagine they start sending children home because they sneeze.

If they had actual Covid symptoms it would need to be way longer than just 24 hours. Makes no sense.

And why isn't testing available anymore? Is there a shortage?
