So far we've had this happen twice in the first week, but can see it coming up again and again.
So, there's a sibling of a student, who has tested positive. So the student has been sent home, as need to self isolate for 14 days.
The parents have then got a test for the student very quickly, and tested negative, so back at school.
With the other case, sibling had symptoms, awaiting test. Student that was sent home also went to get a test (no symptoms) as parent said they cannot miss any more school. Both came back negative (which is fine) BUT, you would assume had sibling been positive, and student negative, student would have been back in. That was the impression anyway.
That's not right is it?
I thought it was, test positive, family isolates, if develop symptoms....get a test, if not....keep isolating until time is up.
Yes, it sucks, but that's the rules.
I'm guessing that people are making up symptoms to get tested as well, as otherwise, how do you get a test?
