Contact with positive case but not isolating

Bloody Facebook.
A mum in DD's class posted earlier that her family were isolating again. Later posted asking for advice about not being contacted by t&t, stating that she knew they'd been in contact with a positive case, she needed info for work.
She works in the school. She previously sent her child into school whilst awaiting test results, which culminated in testing positive and then pulled her child out of class midday. She was the result of a school email asking others not to do the same.
Back to today, she's deleted both posts and I'm worried she'll send child in tomorrow and go back to work herself. This puts every child in DD's class at risk, plus anyone she encounters as a dinner lady.
School sent out an email yesterday about rising cases in our area pointing out that they're on an "upward trajectory".

Would I be out of order flagging this up if she does? School would be implicit in this too. I'm aware that she's not legally required to isolate as it stands, but morally this is taking the piss.

If she does, by all mean report her. But she’s not actually done anything wrong this time yet. Hold your horses.

I'll definitely wait and see. Just preemptively annoyed at how many people could potentially be put at risk, again.

Maybe her contact wasn't enough to warrant isolating?

goddessofmischief · 24/06/2021 23:04

She responded to a comment on the post "we know we have been in contact with someone"

She's already started isolating.

I think unless you’re household or told to by t&t, you don’t legally have to isolate? (Not that you shouldn’t morally)

Anon email to the school to prewarn them so they can refuse them at the gate.

They don't get paid if they are not there I have 2 dinner lady friends who have done this and that's been their reason. I think they're idiots btw.

Not sure if this may change your mind, but I put myself forward for a trial and was accepted. My husband and daughter both currently have Covid.

As long as I get 1 negative pcr and test myself daily with a lateral flow test, if it's negative, I am allowed to go about my daily essential business.

She sounds like a bit of a dick, bit is it possible she is on this trial also?

Anyone who has submitted a negative pcr is asked if they want to be a part of the study.
