I had this happen this week too. Dr wrote a note that she could return 24 hours after temp. Mom said flu but she wasn't swabbed
soooo she stayed home an extra day but was truely fine. She fully participated and had no symptoms. So I do not think she had influenza. My neighbor had it (swabbed) and she truely was sick for the full week! And the doctor had her off for the full week. I have one out right now that was swabbed and the doc said out for the week.
So, I am making sure my policy states for the flu, they must be out the full week.
Always tweaking. I do not have that siblings must be out... I don't know if I can make that one happen. That would be a dream... honestly though, the sibs I have now don't get each other sick.
I do have that I will not care for a child 24 hours after they are released from the hospital or emergency room. Just one for other people to consider. It may seem like common sense but had a parent try...
