    Copious amounts of snot and coughing, lethargy and/or if showing any other signs of being unwell I will keep them home.

    I was asked to keep DS at home a few months back as there was a case of measles in the centre, and he had a rash (not that I was sending him with a rash, just someone saw it on FB and brought my attention to the case of measles before his daycare day). Turns out it wasn't measles, and a random rash. I did ask what the go was with my DD if it was the measles, being a contagious disease, but she wasn't showing any signs.. They said whilever she is showing no symptoms, there is no reason for exlusion (this was also verified by QLD Health).

    So, no I wouldn't necessarily keep a sibling home if the other was sick with a contagious disease, but definately the sick child. I will send with a slight cold, however if they ask to stay at home, they stay at home.
