to think if a child shows symptoms at school then the whole family should go home, not just that one child?

I know there are strong feelings on colds vs coronavirus and sending children home from school and it has probably been done to death! But if a child has been sent home, in the middle of the day, should siblings be sent home too?

In the queue outside my DS reception class last week, a mother was telling another parent at the top of her voice that she had already been to school earlier on to pick up her DD. If her DD has symptoms (and potentially covid-19) then surely her other children should be sent home too?

Again, I understand it is a sensitive subject as lots of children are being sent home and it is disrupting their education, parents working etc.

A second child in his class was sent home the next so the whole bubble has now had to stay at home until the results of both children come through
