CTVNews.ca looks at the policies of 18 school boards and regions across the country to get a snapshot of the different COVID-19 protocols and policies for students who become sick.
In contrast, daily checks are not necessary in Nunavut, which has yet to report a positive case. Daily screening requirements kick in if a region within the territory enters “stage 2,” which indicates an escalated risk of COVID-19 transmission.The list of symptoms differs slightly from province to province, and from those listed on the Government of Canada’s website.
But with many of the symptoms potentially minor on their own , or similar to a cold or even allergies, it doesn’t take much for a student to get sent home. This has prompted some health officials to revisit which symptoms to include. In most cases, the screening guidelines clarify that these should be new or worsening symptoms. B.C. and Nova Scotia, for example, make clear that students who have a pre-existing medical condition that can also cause similar symptoms can continue to attend school as long as these pre-existing symptoms do not get worse.
