Definition of unwell.

For example,
Perennial allergic rhinitis is a chronic allergic condition that doesn't subside throughout the year and causes nasal congestion and a runny nose. ... Dust mites are the most common cause of perennial allergic rhinitis but it can be caused by any allergy that is present year round.

So they are supposed to skip school all year round?

I guess in this climate of hypersensitivity, those with non-infectious cold-like symptoms will have to bow to the fearful and wear masks? My family is one of those with allergies, though not daily. Just often enough that we are probably going to be avoided sometimes!

Not confirmed by WHO and MOH yet if this is the case. At the moment, they hospitalise those with symptoms, and quarantine people based on travel history and close contact with those with symptoms.
