So has your DCs school closed again due to positive tests?

[LynetteScavo]

I live in a area with a low-ish infection rate, but two local schools announced today they are closing year groups for the next two weeks due to staff testing positive.

Is this happening nationally?

@IceCreamAndCandyfloss

The twitter site that was mentioned yesterday had 159 as the school figure for England alone this afternoon. Maybe the government should give daily figures when they announce case figures.

Hi, what link is this? Does it give the total number of schools with classes isolating? DC had first day in reception today and he told me that they only have to wash their hands if they go toilet. Don't want to raise stuff with school already but that doesn't sound great (or in line with what they say they're doing).

@FlamingoAndJohn

They won’t close the schools again, no way. The cost of the economy is far too high.

No I don’t think they will. I think yo yo Schooling will be the new normal.

School still open but several classes isolating after only 2 days of being open.

Today’s numbers

DS1 managed a week at college. Two students have tested positive, one he sits next to and was at a hot tub party with!
Now self isolating.
