I have also posted this in coronavirus but there is so much action my thread has vanished out of site!
We had a message from nursery saying someone who was in contact with the children for less than 5 minutes has tested positive for covid. The message just says they were visiting and the whole visit was less than 5 mins. There was no physical contact but there could have been close contact.
Nursery called public health who said all of the children needed to isolate for 10 days.
They then spoke to someone different at public health who said the children did NOT need to isolate because the contact wasn't face to face for 15 minutes.
Nursery are being cautious and have closed nursery and told everyone to isolate. This obviously has a big impact on the one day we allowed to see family at Christmas!
I thought that if someone tested positive, track and trace would contact nursery/school/friends etc but ive been told in my other thread this doesnt happen.
Nursery have given us very little information and dont seem to know anything about what children specifically had the contact or what the contact was. I dont even know if it was an adult or child but ive been assuming adult. Just that it was less than 5 mintues.
How can public health say yes isolate then no dont? Do we need to isolate because of 5 mins contact? Not even 5 minutes with one child, for the whole visit.
Im so confused, I want to do the right thing but it doesn't sound like to me that we need to isolate. And i obviously dont want to put family at risk.
