WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWNY) - Under the state’s new guidance on COVID-19, students and staff with symptoms, ranging from sore throat to headaches, can either have a doctor’s note detailing an alternative diagnosis, or a negative COVID-19 test to be able to come back to school:
My daughter was sent home because she threw up at school and had to get a COVID test. I’m like, seriously? It’s because I used too much avocado oil when cooking her breakfast that morning.
