Indirect contact - what to do?

[Helpnotsurewhattodovirus]

Sorry if this is a stupid question but my brain is a bit scrambled with the changing guidance.

Girl A has a confirmed case. Girl B spent the weekend with Girl A at her house. Girl B is now self isolating and has a cough and a headache.

My son is at school with Girl B and saw her today before she went home. Was in registration class with her and had a quick chat with her.

What to do? I am a high school teacher and am still at work. We are already staying way from older family members with underlying health conditions. Husband is already working from home.

Do we just keep an eye on my son and isolate us all (two other children) as soon as any symptoms emerge? The connection seems a bit tenuous otherwise. Not sure.

Thanks.

Oh god I honestly don’t know what the best thing to do is? I think I would make him self isolate for 2 weeks but I’m sure many would call me too cautious while others would say I wasn’t cautious enough.

It’s the fact he had a conservation with her, he could have easily touched the same desk/chair she touched and then touched his face.

I had direct contact with a confirmed case - meetings at work over two days. I was given advice to carry on as normal and only self-isolate if symptoms developed. They didn’t and it has been 2.5 weeks.

If symptoms develop, that’s the point at which you isolate. Until then, hygiene is imperative.

Thank you. That's put my mind at rest. We will watch him like a hawk and remind him to wash his hands.
