A high schooler in Snohomish, WA who had NOT traveled has tested positive.
The kid went to the clinic, felt better, started to go back to school, and then they got the results and called him to go home.
.
Fortunately, they called before the school day started and got him home so his contact at school was minimal–but WHAT the heck!
If they even felt like they should test–why didn’t they KEEP HIM HOME until the results came back.
THIS IS CRAZY!
