AIBU to tell a family returning from Spain that they can’t come in for 7 days

[Freddiefox]

I manage a nursery and a family is returning from Spain this week from a holiday.

Would I be unreasonable to tell them they can’t come back for 7 days.

The guidance for schools : specified counties and areas with implications for returning travellers or visitors arriving in the UK in the last 14 has been withdrawn and replaced with

Stay at home: guidance for people with symptoms of covid 19.
They aren’t showing any symptoms yet

Yanbu.

They went for a holiday to an area that’s high risk.
The consequence is no access to places where they can potentially infect others.
If they cannot understand this then they’re selfish twats. If my DC was in your nursery and you would have let their children in immediately after they had returned and I found out, I’d never trust you again with keeping my DC safe.

Yanbu- what do you have to lose by asking them not to return for 14days??
I'm not even in the uk and we have far less cases than the uk and our schools are shut down for the next month.

Of course you're not unreasonable. You should stay away from everyone. This shit is real.

I think I’d make it 14 days.

Well, this government is extremely flippant and sinister. People will die, not because of the virus but from lack of available care. EXTREMELY SELFISH attitude like above of “everyone will get it, so let’s go to the Stereophonic concert along with 20k people” is insane and stupid.
In my country we are self isolating trying to DELAY having everyone ill at the same time. Imagine the entire Manchester being ill at the same time? Ffs be informed. Use your brain.

As a nursery, whatever Boris and his jesters say, I’d keep that family away at for 2 weeks from the nursery. Better lose one family or you’re risking everyone, including damage to your reputation.
Imagine if they are ill and the virus spread by that kid to all the kids in your care and your community?
For me the choice would be easy.

YANBU

I'm in Spain. In a county with only 60 cases and none in my city but we are in lockdown.

You're not being tested over in the UK at all. It will be MUCH, much more widespread than your figures are showing. Just look at the ratio of deaths to cases that you have. Last night Germany had had deaths numbering in the teens but cases five or so times more than the UKs, whereas the UK was on around 35 deaths with a relatively low number of confirmed cases. Death figures are a far more accurate pointer than confirmed case figures if your government is refusing to test or confirm.

If the family have spent a week in Madrid then probably worth them not coming in, but you should probably close anyway.

Here - last nights figures

Yanbu but it needs to be 14 days.

If it reassures you to make the decision OP my son's nursery has changed it's policy on this to be that any child or staff who are returning from abroad (anywhere) need to not come to nursery for 2 weeks. We're in Wales.

It should be 14 days in my opinion. Do you have any children with asthma or who have relatives who are immune compromised/over 70 years old? That could be your words to them as to why you can’t let them come in. You need to protect all the children and their relatives.

My sister and niece flew back from benidorm last Sunday and were back at work monday and they both work in a hospital.

I'm still out here till Thursday and don't know what I'll do when I get home. Friends we are with are going to self isolate but they're retired. If I'm told to self isolate I will, otherwise probably not.

Y a b n u but it should be 14 days
