Isolating young children

[SubordinateThatClause]

Primary aged DC2 not well, mild symptoms (sore throat, but of a cough, no fever, feels crap) Could be it, may not be.

How do we do this? Tiny 2 bedroom room cottage. DCs share a room. DC2 very needy emotionally since divorce.

Resigning my self to a month of us all being ill. Quite scared actually.

But we all get sick, children always get sick, their systems need to build immunity.
Dont let it get to you, ur children need you strong.

I think the advice is to isolate the sick person in a room by themselves for 7 days and leave food outside the door. In reality this is not an option with young children. They need to be looked after. I'll not be isolating any of mine if they get ill as they are too young. We'll just all self isolate. We have stayed away from all people since their school closed on Wednesday anyway and intend to continue to do so.
