A new study has shown that some parents in the United States misrepresented their child’s coronavirus status, allowing them to break quarantine or testing guidelines.
The study, which was published on 6 March in JAMA Network Open, surveyed answers from 580 parents with children under the age of 18 living with them during the coronavirus pandemic. Among the participants, nearly 26 per cent of parents said they chose to not disclose their child’s covid status.
