Three-year-oid Dembe arrived at the childcare centre. He was monitored at the entrance. He showed no signs of illness or fever. Dembe was walked to the preschool classroom where he joined his group of children in play. He laid on the carpet and played with a wooden car, which he placed on top of some cardboard blocks. He ran the car back and forth. He then constructed a "CN Tower" using small plastic blocks of mixed shapes and sizes. The children transitioned outside, where Dembe rode a bike and later climbed on the climber. While outside, he began to sneeze. The staff asked how he was feeling and provided him with a tissue. After returning to the classroom, the children washed their hands and sat down for lunch. Dembe sat down but immediately began crying. He held his head. The educator asked, "Are you feeling unwell?" Dembe replied, "My head and my tummy are hurting. I don't want to eat." He put his head down to the table and rubbed his forehead with his hand.
