Child Positive For Coronavirus Was Sent To School Anyway. Others Quarantining NowNearly 30 Massachusetts high school students are quarantining after parents sent their child to school despite receiving a positive diagnosis days before. This is why there needs to be consequences for this type of negligence. HS is old enough to stay at home while parents work so there is absolutely no argument as to why it happened other than extreme negligence.
