My 2yo DS goes to nursery 2 days a week. We have been lucky to have avoided covid and isolation so far but looks like there’s a positive case in his room. We’ve been told he is not a close contact but that room may have to close temporarily due to lack of staff - it sounds like another staff member has tested positive and staff members in his rooms are seen as close contacts of that individual.
However it may well reopen in time for him to attend again this week. Although case rates in our area are not overly high, they are increasing, like everywhere else. Now I’m thinking it might be best to keep him off to avoid any call to isolate as we’re due to go away at the end of next week.
I suppose I’m torn between:
- Keep him in, take the risk. Unlikely to isolate and miss holiday. Will have to pay if they’re open and good for him to continue - gets a lot out of nursery and can get unsettled if his misses a week or two and then returns.
- Keep him off as I can manage other commitments around that. Guarantees that we can keep our planned holiday.
I am also likely to have this dilemma again during the holidays re going to nursery vs risking other plans.
