I tested positive on Monday, still feeling quite rubbish, but school have sent generic emails to everyone, stating that any time off will be recorded as such, no particular time for covid etc.
I originally thought I'd go in Friday, but what happens if I am still testing positive? I obviously would wear a mask, open windows etc, but I'm a primary trainee teacher, where the children get very close.
I know I could go in Monday and by then I'm over the worse of it, but I feel so guilty; for not being in school; but to potentially spread this on and it affects children's/teacher's half terms.

As a parent of a primary school child who has just been off sick with covid for 9 days then passed it to me who is still ill and positive after 9 days please wait until you’re negative. It’s so disruptive to everyone who it’s passed onto, I run my own business so loose all my income until I’m better, not to mention the potential health risks.

But what if staff have no choice? DD had covid recently and she was told she had to come into school after day 3 unless she was really unwell (she's a teacher).
People in jobs where they lose wages, and possibly their job if they take too much time off, are in the same position. You say you lose income if you're unwell, so surely you understand the difficulty for employees who stand to lose income, too?
I've had covid seven times now, mostly brought into the house via DD, but what can she do? What can anyone do?
