Just wondering. Children of key workers. Are you catching Covid from them?

Nope 👎🏻

No. And I still don’t know of anyone personally who has suspected they’ve had it.

Yes unfortunately. We have 6-10 kids in secondary each day but some are home with symptoms this week.

Interested in this thread?

No. Ours are middle school. The local village has many cases though.😞

It’s interesting. We are both key workers, I’ve kept our children home because I was rather guilted into it. I’m finding it impossible to work at home with the kids there, so I can’t get my ‘key work’ properly done.

I keep reading about how teachers are more at risk from being near key workers kids. So dress if there’s any evidence.

Yes, we have 34 who could be in, (senior school,) but several students and rota staff have taken isolation time. No idea is was covid-19 or another viral infection as not tested.

I know two people who’ve had it in a town of 200,000. Many more at work, and one death at work if a colleague

2 headteachers have died.

Not sure about school but in our little town we've had quite a few deaths this week from COVID Sad

Daffodil101 · 19/04/2020 21:18

Did those head teachers catch it at work? From key workers kids?

If everyone did the same, it could of course become more of a problem

Could you send them in for 2 days? Fewer days by default reduces the risk but you can also get some work done.

We have had teachers and key worker children/parents off recently with symptoms of the virus.

They’ve not been tested yet though, so who knowsConfused.
