From the article: “... bacteria from the disease can be dangerous to others who have it as well, and non-siblings are advised to stay 3 to 6 feet away from each other,..”

So, if this child gets near the 2 siblings in his school who have CF, THEY are in serious trouble. The school would be charged with making sure they all keep their distance. Or possibly not travel within the same parts of the school so as to be exposed to each other’s germs.

Kids passing germs is endless. The 2 other students could not be assured they would not be exposed to Colman.

I’ve lived a similar situation to this, with a child having to be isolated. It’s tough but the 2 vulnerable children have to be protected.

Okay, so CF can be passed to others just by aerosol as in sneezing or touching or bodily fluids as the person would sneeze into their hand then touch a door knob? How is CF passed to others?

The boy does not have CF. That's the crazy part of the story. He has a genetic mutation that could lead to CF - but he doesn't have the disease itself, and he might not ever develop the disease. IOW, the school has banned him due to his results on a genetics test only.
