Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday announced that the state has put out a revised rule which follows a 'symptom-based approach' to quarantining students, meaning asymptomatic children exposed to COVID-19 in classrooms could be sent back to school by parents.

and Department of Health secretary, said, "It's also important to respect the rights of parents as the governor described.

The decision has been criticized by school officials who are in favour of COVID-19 preventative measures such as mask mandates and additional quarantining. With the spread of the Delta variant driving a surge of cases as the new school year opened, schools in some states have faced difficulties balancing COVID-19 prevention with differing statewide orders.whose school systems have come under fire from DeSantis for defying the state's ban on mask mandates.

As many as nine in 10 cases among students and seven in 10 cases among staff may be missed by conventional reporting mechanisms,For the study, students and staff in three schools in Omaha, Nebraska, participated in a weekly PCR-testing program between November 9 and December 11 last year. Over the study period, nearly 2,900 self-collected saliva samples from 458 staff and 315 students with no symptoms were tested.

Sadly, it might take a couple of days to reveal a true + result. The virus, if had entered the nares, will work its way down thru the nasopharynx & then respiratory tract. By time it’s day 2 or 3, the student can then be truly infected, & you sent the asymptomatic kid into school

Doug Ford could learn from this brave Governor. VaxDoNotWork

Yeah I love to rag on Florida, but Oregon is only doing a little better here. at least we have masks? (OregonGovBrown do better challenge) So crazy that COVID magically only spreads up to 3 feet while within the confines of a classroom🙄

HAHAHAHA goodbye Florida.

Mr. governor of Florida when your family catches a virus I’m gonna laugh make sure they don’t wear a mask or get vaccinated

Is he fucked

Wow, sensible politicians do exist!

That is why there are over 20,000 cases there...shameful!!!

michael_house9 I’ve sent my kids to work with a cold/flu. I’ve gone to work with a cold/flu. I think you people who are so terrified need to seek help. You’re beyond irrational. Ffs it has a 99% survival rate!!!!!

Death cult

There's a reason they call him 'DeathSantis'.

Are you shitting me?

He Is Not A Wise Man!!

Most American geniuses live in Florida or Texas 🤦‍♂️

Lets just get to it republican dont care about human lives they care about money and power

Doesn't surprise me, with the race for worst Right wing leader/Human heating up so much he had to do something to ensure that he reminded in the top tier, can't have that Texas Governor taking over top spot from him...Republicans have no morals left, just a book they reference...

🤦🏻‍♂️

Send them to his office.

Well, I guess they aren’t his kids…so sure…what could go wrong…

What in the actual fuck

That was the biggest stupidity in the States . They only went after Trump . They should also went after the social conservatives Governor. They control the health policy .

Some common sense, instead of this creepy shit coming from here

Florida has 2 times the infection and deaths as the whole of Canada from the coronavirus. Is it any wonder why the USA continues to lead the world in covid deaths and infections?

Florida, the Alberta of the US.

He thinks heard immunity will work and he will show the world. No more Florida for us. Selling it all!!!

They're intentionally trying to infect the children. It's unconscionable

And this is why they have/had thousands of cases a day.

He didn't say send asymptomatic back to school. Asymptomatic in unvaccinated is not possible. He said those showing symptoms after exposure stay home. No symptoms after exposure go to school. Common sense. Try to keep up without inserting your narrative.

Asymptomatic only exists in the vaccinated. Science.

What the hell is wrong with this state

It surprises me how many health professionals refute vaccines. Incredible!

He really is off his rocker. Republicans 🤷🏻‍♂️

The nerve of him to treat those children who arent sick like humans, im so infuriated right now😁

If you live in Florida (or any state with a Republican Governor & Legislature), your life is in grave danger. Get out immediately.

In the US there must away to sue or charge him with a wrongful death lawsuit. He is willing putting people lives a stake, the data shows masks and vaccines work. Just to keep some uneducated people happy. This should be criminal.
