In line with state health guidance, the center requires any child showing symptoms to stay home for at least 10 days, only returning once those symptoms disappear. Or, the child can come back if he or she gets a doctor’s note saying a COVID-19 test wasn’t necessary because the child had a different diagnosis. Or, if the child tests negative for COVID-19, he or she may come back as long as the symptoms have been gone for at least 48 hours, Bulava said.
Getting COVID-19 tests for kids can be difficult, but schools often require them. ‘It really puts parents in a tricky position.’
