Would you isolate child before surgery

My 3 year old is due for surgery at the end of next week to remove tonsils, adenoids & to fit grommets in both ears.

The operation has been cancelled twice due to Illness. I’m planning on keeping them home from nursery all next week but my mum thinks I’m over reacting and that I should just send to nursery as normal. I have twins and my plan is to keep them both home for the week.

if you or your child were having surgery would you isolate beforehand? There has been no advice given by the hospital, they don’t even do a covid test anymore.

YABU - yes you are over reacting

YANBU - no totally sensible

I would. Especially as it’s coming up to autumn and illnesses are likely

In your shoes with two previous cancellations I absolutely would. Best of luck.

if it’s already been cancelled twice I’d isolate to avoid a 3rd cancellation for the same reason yes
