When can a student or staff who has ILI but has tested negative for influenza at their doctor’s office come back to school?
Students or staff who have ILI but have a negative influenza test should follow the same exclusion period as everyone else. They should not return to school until their fever is gone for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication. This is because there is a low accuracy of the rapid flu tests with novel H1N1 influenza.
