The updated list means you can still send kids to school, if the only symptom they have is a runny nose.
ONTARIO - A runny nose will not keep kids from attending school this year in Ontario.

- Fever,
- Chills,
- Cough or barking cough,
- Shortness of breath,
- Loss of taste or smell,
- Nausea,
- Vomiting,
- Diarrhea,
Children with those symptoms will be told to stay home and isolate and get tested for COVID-19.
