If a child has to isolate, but not parents, how will you manage childcare?

Something which has been playing on my mind, so interested in others opinions on this. If your child tests positive so needs to isolate for 10 days how will you manage childcare if you do not need to isolate and work expects you in? I officially get one day paid to sort out childcare, and then it would be unpaid, DH same. Usually we would ask grandparents if needed (but obviously not if DS had covid). I'm assuming one of us would have to take time off unpaid which would feel a little frustrating (both teachers so no option to wfh).

Hopefully won't be an issue but interested in how other parents are planning to manage.

🤷🏻‍♀️ Ok. Like I said, irrelevant to me. I’ve had to take unpaid leave for every isolation and as a result we’re in a fair amount of debt. I don’t really care, was just musing.

The link is to guidance, not to law so irrelevant.
