Our daycare's new policy is a little wild to me.
If a child has a "primary symptom" of COVID, they are presumed positive and must stay home for at least 10 days or until symptoms cease. This means fever (which is a given and already kept kids home) or cough.
I'm sorry, but my kid spends the entire winter with a cough. Daycare is a petri dish. He genuinely coughed (with a few breaks in between colds) from October - February last year.
I'm all for taking him to get tested if he's running a fever, but the cough thing threw me a bit. He's already had 2 this year with no fever or other symptoms.
Am I tripping?
No clue how we'll handle work + looking after him should he have to stay home for a large portion of the winter if he comes down with a cold.
