Morning All,

As im sure your aware the new guidelines are now in place for isolation of children under 18 in school/childcare. The new guidance states that children do not not need to isolate if a close contact of a positive case (such as a parent or other household member) unless they develop symtoms then they must take a PCR.

I wondered what others thoughts are on how they will manage this in their own settings, I am going to keep my own policy in place that states if a household member is positive then the child cannot attend my setting until 10 days after exposure? can i do that? is it my choice? or do i have to do as the new guidance states? what will you all be doing?

Thanks for your thoughts.
