the_quick Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 I wonder how well it is going to work with Schools open. I have no clue how big impact in spreading schools have. We are in fairly low covid infection county (something like 45 per 100k population) - you guys up north, how was it for you? Did you have many kids/adult isolating or being ill?
Steve21 Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 It's silly advice all around really. We're in the South, one of the lowest areas in the country currently, and all based on PHE advice after 1 teacher has tested positive we now have 150 students who need to isolate, and 9 teachers who were in contact on said day all going off. I get being cautious, and all that, but if that's how PHE are advising really the answer is we shouldn't be open at all... Steve 1

Steve That doesn't marry up with our many experiences of PHE - all the advice we've had boils down to virtually no one needs to isolate - they'll do their level best to exclude anyone they can from isolation.
jthompson Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 PHE guidance seems to not fit that well with places where people are potentially in contact with the same people multiple times throughout the day (so workplaces and schools). It's seems more suited to shops, buses, etc where you might be crossing paths with strangers. 'Contact' is defined as being within 2m for 15 minutes or more, or 1m for a minute or more. Nothing about how that might add up over multiple shorter interactions over the course of a day.

mikeprice Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 The government guidance for the new lockdown can be read here https://www.gov.uk/guidance/new-national-restrictions-from-5-november quote for work purposes, where your place of work remains open and where you cannot work from home end quote So - based on that - and assuming this appears in the law they are sorting out on Wednesday If you can work from home the school must not insist that you come in I would have thought - YMMV - especially if you are a member of SMT in some schools
