Emphasis on 100% attendance while self-isolating is still a thing?

Are any schools still focusing on 100% attendance right now, offering awards/incentives? I've noticed that a local school is doing this, offering prizes, however surely it could be impossible for so many pupils to achieve 100% attendance at present, due to circumstances out of their control. Obviously illness has always been out of a pupils control, but the chances of numerous children being recurrently sick are a lot less than the current risk of having to self isolate, maybe repeatedly? I just found this a bit astonishing

Self isolating doesn’t count as absence so perfectly possible for students to have 100% attendance.
