how many kids at your dc school have had covid?

104 replies

LilQueenie · 01/08/2020 03:06

just that. I'm in a panic over schools return in 12 days. I expect a rise in cases due to various reasons in my area though they have been almost non existent for almost a month or so now. I was looking up statistics of how many cases of covid were in schools since re opening. Has anyone in your dc class tested positive since return?

How are you all coping in general and what are the rates in your area around this time.

My anxiety has peaked and I'm looking at ways to reduce it.

One case at my children’s school (child) and one adult case at my friends school. In both cases, the bubbles had to self isolate for 14 days.

No children diagnosed in the school I work in. 2 members of staff.

RandomTree · 01/08/2020 08:31

None in DC3's primary school (or any of the local primary schools).

There was one case in DC1 and DC2's secondary school back in March before lockdown (someone who'd been to Italy in Feb).

OP if you are in Scotland I’m sure it was recently reported there had been zero cases in all Scottish schools.

2/3 had it but we don’t know whether it was adults or children. The school didn’t go I’m to specifics

In to

DS isn’t at school yet but the only child I know who has had it is DH’s nephew, who is almost 3. His granny who lives with them is a social worker who goes into hospitals so they assume that’s how he got it. In his case it was mild and he’s now fine, no lingering effects. Nobody else in the household showed symptoms. He definitely had it as they had a positive test.

GoshHashana · 01/08/2020 08:44

I'm in a hotspot in the north west and I don't know a single soul of any age who has had it.

School admin said one parent no children, SE London

Not sure on children but it spread around staff at a local primary and sadly the headteacher died from it.

Back in March a few children and staff were ill. But they had been somewhere that had confirmed cases (school didn't think to tell parents, read about it in the paper!). Also, confirmed cases of staff family members who had visited the school whilst probably contagious and again school didn't say a word, we read in the local paper. Don't have much trust in them in all honesty.

Wargghhhh · 01/08/2020 08:53

None in either kids school.

LipstickTaserrr · 01/08/2020 09:02

2 confirmed positive children in the last week before the summer holidays so no idea if it was passed on. If I had sent my DD back it would have been her bubble.

MrsSSG · 01/08/2020 09:03

I don't know, none that I've heard of. My DC caught it from me Sad How do I find that information out?

Freddofrogshop · 01/08/2020 09:06

My nursery has been fully open since 1st June. No cases at all.
A few coughs which showed negative tests, that's all.

Cismyfatarse1 · 01/08/2020 09:08

I know of one (aged 18). It was caught when parents who are both Drs brought it home from work. I also know of a family where the Mum (a teacher) got it but was not tested as it was March. Her husband, 2 teenagers and classes did not get it.

My sister did not get it from her husband either in spite of sharing a bed until his diagnosis.

drspouse · 01/08/2020 09:10

How would you know? Unless it was in the papers.

Chevron123 · 01/08/2020 09:16

DCs secondary closed a couple of weeks before lockdown in March for a deep clean after two positive cases (pupils). They reopened but by that stage half of my eldest's class has a cough and were kept at home (or were sent home). Without testing we will never really know.

ArthurMorgan · 01/08/2020 09:16

None that I'm aware of. I'm in the north west and have just been locked down again even though my area actually has falling cases ...

BikeRunSki · 01/08/2020 09:16

None in either DC’s school, and we’re in re-locked down Kirklees.

clareykb · 01/08/2020 09:17

None at the big primary I work at where lots of the parents work in severely affected care homes and none at DCs either. They have been In throughout as key workers children and then in priority year group bubbles.

Megan2018 · 01/08/2020 09:18

@drspouse in our case (not common I know) the entire school consists of 58 pupils (reception-year 6) and the chair of governors is family.
Everyone knows everything about everyone here.

happypotamus · 01/08/2020 09:25

None as far as I know. My DC went throughout lockdown as keyworker children, and, I assume that if there had been a positive case the school would have closed.

Oblomov20 · 01/08/2020 09:35

None.
In any school I know of round here.

MarshaBradyo · 01/08/2020 09:38

186 schools out of 30,000 plus schools had outbreak (two or more cases). So most of us will say none,

There may have been more incidences of one case but it would have been effectively managed not to turn to more.
