I don't think so.

When I have a child home sick, It's hard for me to give them the extra love and attention they need from me to feel and get well. Even as a DCP, I would have a hard time taking care of more than one child at a time if one of them were ill, so I don't expect a parent to do it either.

However, if it were something that is highly contagious then I would ask for the sibling to stay home, because it's only going to be hours before they get it too. Something like HFM.
