MADISON, Wis.– It’s easy to confuse COVID-19 symptoms with allergies, but doctors say parents shouldn’t risk it and send their kids to school anyway.
“The only way to reduce the transmission in schools is to keep the sick kids away,” Pediatrician at SSM Health Tom Murwin said.
Murwin’s order that may sound great for kids, but frustrating for parents, who he knows often will send their child to class with a runny nose assuming it’s just allergies.
“Keep them home to play it safe until you know what the symptoms,” Murwin said.
MADISON, Wis. Even though Public Health Madison and Dane County has a couple thousand vaccine slots open this week, they know those appointments will all fill up because the demand in Dane County is still high.
