When to keep your child at home

How sick is too sick?  There are four main reasons to keep sick children at home:

  1. The child is at risk of infecting others with COVID-19 or another contagious illness, either because of symptoms or recent close contact.
  2. The child does not feel well enough to take part in usual activities. For example, a child is overly tired, fussy or will not stop crying.
  3. A child needs more care than teachers and staff can give while still caring for the other children.
  4. The child has symptoms or an illness is on this list (see full information sheets below), and staying home is required.
