A runny nose or headaches are no longer on the the list of COVID-19 symptoms that can keep a child home from school or daycare.
On Monday, Ontario’s Health Ministry removed both from its list of COVID-19 symptoms for kids, and updated the online COVID-19 screening tool list.
The list now has five categories: fever and chills, cough or barking cough, shortness of breath, losing taste of smell, and nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.
Any child reporting those symptoms will have to stay home in isolation and get COVID tested.
