Isolate or not

[Kawahara]

Just looking for some advice as NHS direct, who I had just spoken to havent been given an update yet, so giving out the same advice as they were before all of italy was locked down.

My kids have been in italy and came back Sunday. I spoke to the school who advised to keep them off for a week to monitor the situation in Italy to see if it got worse.

As italy has now been locked down, I am unsure if they should be isolated for 14 days.

The official advice for where they were is isolate only if there are symptoms. But the NHs call handler I spoke to said he could only give that advice as their system hadnt been updated in response to italy being shut down. He could only give me their current advice.

My exh still has the kids. As work arent sure how it will impact my ability to work i will speak to them again today.

So my question is, would you plan on a 2 week isolation?

Or just treat it on a day by day basis?

Advice is to self isolate if you cane back from Italy after 9th March

Forgot to add. My exh is a dick and doesnt see the need at all for it.

So I dont particularly expect him to actually do this. So I may need to take them anyway.

trinity0097 can I ask where you saw this. They came back on the 7th.

Sorry 8th

I'm sure by the time the recommended week isolation is up for them there will be an update. Can you wait?

It's on www.gov.UK website. 14days if you return from Italy after 9th March.

I think I am being thick. But I cant see the bit about 9 march. I didnt do the questionnaire which asked about north italy and then wife italy and said they dont need to isolate unless they have symptoms.

I am going to have to take it on a day by day basis. Ds has aspergers and being able to give him a clear plan would help him.

It would also help me for work. Looks like it's a day by day basis or see if work will let me work from home.
