Does anyone have a health isolation letter? What happens when you have a vulnerable child?

Dsis has a severely disabled child and is an icu nurse. She has been self isolating 2 weeks (ending today) as DNf had a tummy bug (not CV).

She hasn't received a letter saying son is high risk, even though her cousins (with vitamin b12 deficiency/treated and not problematic) has???

What should she do. Her ICU is full of CV cases so is massively high risk. Her son is high risk for illness. She is rostered to work tomorrow. Happy to work in other areas, but what can she do. Several of her colleagues have gone off such with CV.

It's shit isn't it?

She needs to call her GP about the letter ASAP.

@LuxLFC She just has, and despite having quad cerebral palsy and a feeding tube (unable to do anything for himself) he still isn't considered vulnerable!

She's contacting HR and work to say she's not prepared to work in ICU but will work in other areas. Also contacting her boss in the hope she will understand, as they know her son is disabled.

ICU is full and they now have 2 beds in one space ☹️. We're not even a particularly bad area.
