Isolating already and another close contact positive

[Todayisgood2]

I'm already isolating until 23rd as a close contact has tested positive. Another close contact from same group has tested positive today. Do I need to extend my isolation as I had contact within person Thursday last week?

How did you have contact with them if you were isolating from the 1st contact?

I'm a teacher. 1st contact was a pupil, we keep working until test results come in...... so I taught my class for 4 days whilst they waited for results. Now another child has tested positive....

No but echoing the poster above. How? You should not have left the house.

Only if you’ve been in contact 48h ago need to isolate. So as you were isolating I presume you don’t have to extend it

Thanks.
Just to clear it up, as soon as pupil gets positive test the group is sent home, we can't isolate whilst kids await results- I wouldn't have been in at all this term!

I think you do need to extend it then if you had contact with the 2nd pupil in the 48 hours before symptoms started. What does your school say?

They're waiting to check with public health tomorrow. I last saw this pupil on Thursday and positive result today after testing on Saturday so presume he had symptoms.... yes I think we'll probably have to isolate longer. I'll wait to see tomorrow.

Surely your school will advise you on this.
