We received the OCDSB guidance late this afternoon, and there is indication that any unfavourable response to the daily screening questions means that you must keep your child(ren) home. Can we expect (as it was for summer camps) that such questions will include simple cold symptoms?

Pre-visit screener lists of potential symptoms that would identify patients as ‘positive screeners’ are quite lengthy and most have no idea symptoms listed could potentially symptoms of COVID-19. Public health needs to address these symptom lists. For examples of known symptoms of COVID-19, please refer to the Government of Canada’s Coronavirus disease (COVID-19): Symptoms and treatment page, visible here
