We are both teachers who are currently not going in to work. Both our headteachers have said that staff with children didn’t need to volunteer over the holidays etc. They’ve also said this going forward from next week (end of holidays for us). This has saved us, until now, making the choice about whether to go in. However, my school rota is looking a bit sparse and I feel I should volunteer. In turn, this means my husband should too.
None of us are vulnerable officially - we have three children under 8. Our middle child has had mild croup for about a month now - he has had in the past and this doesn’t concern me. He has been hospitalised with it at its worst - just for steroids and recovery. Before all this, GP was suspecting he could be asthmatic and we were going to try inhalers etc. This has stopped since as we can’t go in for appt.
What I don’t know, and is holding me back from volunteering, is is he more vulnerable to Coronavirus and therefore I SHOULDN’T volunteer to go to work? Or my husband. Or am I just being overprotective?
(There are teachers with children who are going in to work by the way, hence why I feel I should too)
Sorry for lengthy post!
