I have 3 ds
Unvaccinated Ds1 has symptoms started with a sore throat now has high temp and starting to cough. Waiting results from pcr.
Ds1 shares a room with Ds2 if he comes back positive we will swap ds1 and ds3 so ds1 can properly isolate from rest of house.
Ds3 has school Dp has work Dp will continue to work and will social distance/mask up as much as possible. Ds3 cannot socially distance or wear a mask.
If Ds1s test comes back positive what do I do about ds3s school? I know I am supposed to send him but that feels really wrong. I can't afford a fine for keeping him off and a further 10 days of him at home bored will send me round the bend, but I also can't send him off like a little bio weapon ready to infect whoever he comes in contact with.

[quote Hcolhcsra]@Bizawit Not sure where you're getting your Leicester info from. Cases are skyrocketing in some schools there. Think more than 1 in 4 kids out in some year groups.[/quote]

Cases have been fairly flat/ constant and following a similar trajectory to rest of UK. There’s been no significant impact of schools on driving an uptick in infections across the population.

Here they have only been back one week?
How would data be out?

Where I am the rope has well and truly been dropped on covid. No lat flow, no masks... Nothing.... We've had a huge amount of cases this week compared to normal

@Bizawit I think city may be different to county. City had so many cases there's probably a degree of natural immunity. Cases in the county have jumped significantly now over 500 per 100,000
