I totally agree with Playfelt here!!! My son was diagnosed with strep throat and put on antibiotics (no swab) and then it turned out to be HFM...it looks the same...white spots in the throat, painful swallowing, fever...until the spots show up on the hands and feet!

He has already been exposed so it is too late to prevent that. I would be staying open and especially since health unit/telehealth said okay. If she chooses to keep him at home that is her choice but you are open and payment is due.
