My Child is experiencing Symptoms,
Should they stay home?
With all the different details about Covid 19 going around, it can be confusing to know what the protocols are if your child develops symptoms. To help clarify, here is the information we have from Elk Island:
"Should a student exhibit symptoms including a cough, fever, shortness of breath, runny nose, sore throat, AHS recommends they be tested and states they cannot return to school for at least 10 days from the start of symptoms or until symptoms have abated, whichever is longer. If a student is tested for COVID-19 and the test is negative, the student can only return to school after symptoms are gone.
If the student exhibits other symptoms such as chills, painful swallowing, stuffy nose, headache, muscle or joint ache, feeling unwell, loss of smell or taste, or pink-eye, AHS recommends they be tested and states they cannot go to school until symptoms have abated. If a student is tested for COVID-19 and the test is negative, the student can only return to school after symptoms are gone."
