The California parents could now face a fine or a misdemeanor charge for acting against the county's health order, which requires people who test positive for COVID-19 to quarantine for at least 10 days.
Parents in Marin County, California, who knowingly sent their children to school with the coronavirus last month lacked"basic ethics" after that prompted an outbreak of infections among elementary school students, public health officials said Saturday.
Geithman told the AP that the parents failed to notify the school of the positive test or return multiple calls from public health contract tracers. The school discovered the positive case on November 18, and proceeded to contact the families of students who were exposed to the virus and complete rapid tests the next day.
When reached by the school, the student's family said they were"not clear on the protocol" to isolate their child for 10 days. However, Willis told the AP that language barriers or economic factors, which could have influenced the parents to continue sending their kids to school, did not appear to be an issue for the family.
