DH and covid

DH has it and has locked himself away from the rest of us. He's now saying our 6 y.o. will need to be tested before we could allow them to school tomorrow (first day back after holidays). I disagree - I have followed every rule all the way through so I checked current guidance which is not to test kids even with symptoms, unless a doctor advises it. DC doesn't even have symptoms. I think it's a waste of time (and one of our last tests) since I'd send them anyway as they're healthy. He thinks a positive test (with no symptoms) still means we'd keep them off school all week.

I'm all for keeping people safe so I'm slightly conflicted, but tend to go with guidance which would be no test and send in regardless as a healthy child shouldn't be missing their education.

YABU - do the test and keep off school if positive
YANBU - no testing and school as usual

Our school does not want covid positive kids in - luckily parents seem to have more sense than lots on this post so it hasn't been an issue. It was only last week we got the "there has been a suspected case - child has not been in since having symptoms" message
