12 a.m. – COVID-19 symptom check in schools skips runny noses, sore throats, other symptoms

B.C. schools have recently adopted a new daily health checklist that has students and staff monitoring for “key symptoms” of COVID-19, but those don’t include basic signs like runny noses and sore throats.

The health checks, in use in school districts around the province, originate from an example the B.C. Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) set out in a Sept. 11 guidance document for teachers and administrators. In that document, the BCCDC recommends anyone experiencing fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, loss of sense of smell or taste, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea should stay at home rather than come to school.
