So if a parent has covid, children still go school? What if both parents do?

[CovidWorried]

Who is supposed to take primary age kids?

We wouldn't have anyone to take our kids if I get a positive test whilst DP is isolating.

Plus if we were both infected I would feel so cheeky asking someone to take our potentially infected kid with them.

I really don't understand why kids are supposed to go in if someone in the house is positive

There have been several threads on this over the last week. Lots of strong opinions on it, just to warn you.

We had another parent who is a friend pick our child up on the way past (walking), then I asked the class whatsapp for help - two mums I've never met walked our child home two of the days. Then we got stuck. At that point my partner got in the car and went to collect her from after school club. School agreed that he could stay in the car and they'd send her out to him. Luckily we only had 4 school days of overlap.

Oh, and she has tested negative on an LFT every morning, and twice on a PCR in the last week too.

Haven’t you wondered what single parent do 🙄 when someone in one of my kids class tested positive I had to keep all 4 at home even though the others were allowed to still go technically but I had no one to take them! Had to do that 8 times over this pandemic, school was fine with them staying home
