To think 24 hrs is not enough..

[FujimotosElixir]

Received a newsletter from school, after a lengthy explanation about how they were cracking down on absence and lateness etc,etc underneath it stated the incubation period after diahorrea and sickness/virus is only 24 hrs!!!, marvellous (!), I work in care, I cannot be anywhere near a client before 48 hrs, when I was at school it was 48 hrs. How can this be seen as acceptable? Kids in close proximity to each other for 6 hours a days coughing and hooping in the same room all day? AIBU to think this is just bit right?

At the scout camp I went to it was off site and no return for 48 hours from last symptom

But we had doctors etc on the welfare team giving advice (although unit leaders sometimes overruled). Cases that were probsbly just too many sweets and excitement (one vomit, then fine, no D and no other sick kids) we didnt enforce. And this was 7000 people camping together so not the most hygienic place in the world and shared toilets with lots of people using them.

So I think if they're sick once and then ok I wouldn't enforce 48 hours, maybe 24 to make sure it is over. But if they have D&v multiple incidences then it's probably a bug so needs 48 hours.

Yes I agree. If they aren't poorly poorly, then being sick once was probably too much food and your body rejecting it.
