My daughter’s been in contact with someone who tested positive, she had a test yesterday. School say if it comes back negative she can go back in.
Hopefully she'll test negative and be OK.
I'm not sure how the law works with kids and schools Booz as I'm in the same boat as you as my middle lad has been sent home due to a contact testing positive. His school have just said stay away for 14 days.
I've had an employee with the text message from test and trace this week. If he ignores the message he could be fined between £1k and £10k and a £10k fine for the employer if they force somebody to come into work.
"If someone is instructed to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace, because they have had close contact with someone outside their household who has tested positive, they are legally required to self-isolate for the period notified by NHS Test and Trace. Both household and non-household contacts must self-isolate for the full period, regardless of whether they have symptoms and, if they develop symptoms and take a test, regardless of whether any test taken gives a negative result".
From today, people in England will be required by law to self-isolate if they test positive or are contacted by NHS Test and Trace.
