Advice needed covid and school

janer1967

Hi all 

Just need bit of advice Toby just tested positive for covid after coming home with symptoms 

I've tried looking for the answer but keep getting different outcomes 

My question is should he go to school ? I know there are no legal requirements to self isolate now but some searched say send them to school 9thers say don't 

I will call school in the morning bug I know how amazing you all are at finding reliable sources

That's a shame 2nd time now I'd go on the schools advice they might have their own rules, hopefully he gets well soon

Hi all yes 2nd time he has had it and its come on really quick . He was OK when he got in from school then by 8pm was poorly 

Pretty much what I found but thanks for your help 

Don't think he will be well enough to go anyway . 

Keeping my fingers and toes crossed as we had big hugs yesterday for about half hour so hope I'm not going to get it

Update 

School are still following old guidelines to not attend if test positive 

Then test in day 5 and 6 and if negative can return . If not need 2 negative before returning or return after 10 days

Won’t this all change in the coming weeks though? When the home tests won’t be available to order anymore?

@MarkM88 I'm not sure but toby still gets a supply from school as children don't pay for prescriptions so presume they are still free 

@Teddybear12 he isn't very well at all flu like symptoms but nothing too concerning so far . Thanks for asking 

Also to all I'm not saying that is what is happening in all schools can only comment on his school

How's your son doing now 

janer1967

@Sandy_123 he is acting like a normal man with flu. He can't hear me apparently think that's just convenient 

Nothing serious thanks foe asking
