Also worth noting that school rules – at least in my part of the UK (Tory run Hampshire) – are now insane. It is strongly recommended you do NOT test for covid. If you choose to, your child has a maximum of three days to return to school, even if testing positive, unless they have a high fever. Failure results in strikes against your child’s record. Ten half days unauthorised can lead to referral and prosecution. All going well on Normal Island…

@[email protected] @[email protected] Same. The age group with school age children are incredibly vulnerable and they're usually working age so that's a ton of people that will be too sick to work. It's utterly criminal frankly.

@craiggrannell I thought I’d look up Sheffield advice

“Children and young people who are unwell and have a high temperature should stay at home and avoid contact with other people, where they can. They can go back to school, college or childcare when they no longer have a high temperature, and they are well enough to attend.”

So they can go back to school, regardless of whether they are sharing a viral load with classmates? 🧐
