Hours before returning to class, many parents find it difficult to understand the guidelines in the event of an outbreak or symptoms.

At the same time, his entire family bubble must isolate itself. If the first test is negative, the child should wait 24 to 36 hours before the second test. If the second is negative, the isolation will end for the whole family.

While many parents believe the opposite, it is important to note that a simple runny nose does not need to be isolated.
