Is it ok to take dd2 up to school to drop off dd1 when she has scarlet fever?

[Marne]

If i put her in a buggy with rain cover on?

I have no body else to take dd1 up to school, dd2 is on her 3rd day of antibiotics for scarlet fever, i need to take dd1 to school but i don't want to get flamed by other parents for taking dd2 up to school. I will take dd1 up as late as i can so i don't need to hang around too long, dd2 is almost 4 but will fit in a buggy.

Will it be ok?

Yes, definitely OK.

thanks pooka, was worried i would get flamed .

[pooka]

Maybe get there as late as possible, or even 5 mins late and take through the main doors rather than in with the class IYSWIM.

She shouldn't be contagious now, having had 72 hrs of ab's

[pooka]

I don't think you should get flamed at all. Covered with a rain cover and kept away from the throng, should be fine, and what else are you supposed to do?

Thanks, i took her up 5 minutes before the whistle went and stayed out of the way. GP has told us to keep her away from other children for 5 days after AB's started.
