I know the NHS advises at least 48hrs absence from work or school after sickness or diarrhea. Some schools say the same. But some, like ours, which has over 600 pupils, say 24. Which leads the slack parents to think that probably 12 hours is OK and send their child after being sick the afternoon before. We all had what I believe was norovirus at the end of November and it was awful. The school was overrun with it. But it seems to be back again. I have been really poorly this last week with a chest infection and double ear infection and I am only getting by on loads of meds. I am absolutely dreading the dc bringing it home again. I know you can be immune for some time but that will definitely have lapsed now.
Why on earth do schools not enforce the full 48 hrs!
