Help! I have read all the info on swine flu and the threads but I can't find any advice to help me.
Basically friend has swine flu (confirmed). At weekend met my hubby and kids before she knew she had it. Now hubby has terrible headache and feels awful, sore throat, feeling sick. Plus another friend she met on Sat has flu (unconfirmed). Both my kids are feeling icky, one hot, one has the runs and feels sick.
If I am fine, and children and hubby are isolated upstairs can I still work? I know schools are not closing but that's because affected children and staff are sent home. Obviously all my infected people will be in the house. However, I've no confirmation that it's just a virus or cold rather than swineflu.
I suppose I will still give parents a choice to bring but if gov advice is that I can stay open then this is the difference between me being paid or not I suppose. I just need to know before I speak to anyone.
Advice please.
