Children Self-Isolating At Home: 'It’s Tough Mentally As You Don’t Get Any Escape Time'

Seven months since coronavirus lockdown began and you’d think we’d know the rules by now. But unfortunately, parents in the UK are still finding themselves confused about who needs to isolate if your child is sent home from school or nursery because of a covid case in their bubble.

But, while a lot of parents seem confused or unaware, the rules on who has to isolate if a child is sent home from school because of covid, are clear from the government.Google searches about whether you need to self-isolate if your child is sent home from school have increased over recent days and weeks, proving that messaging from schools and the government isn’t cutting through.

As such, if a child were to get ill at the end of the 14 day period, the family could then potentially have to start another 14-day period where they are all in isolation.No, you should only seek a test if you have the symptoms of coronavirus. The government advice clarifies: ‘If you do not have symptoms, you must not seek a test, as the scientific evidence shows that the test may not be able to detect whether you have the virus.

‘It is a legal requirement to self-isolate if you are identified as a contact and told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace,’ it says. ‘Failure to self-isolate for the full time-period can result in a fine, starting from £1,000.’Self-isolation means staying at home and not going outside at any time. If you live with other people, they do not need to self-isolate, but they should avoid contact with you as far as possible and follow advice on hygiene.

‘In our case it seems like a bit of a mess up in both a parent and the nursery. A parent had tested their child twice and got one result back saying negative, so sent them to nursery but failed to let them know that they were awaiting a second test, which then came back positive. Then the nursery were to blame for mixing ‘bubbles’.

‘All in all a shit time but hey, not much we can do about it, so we just have to suffer it and get on. When they go back to nursery, I will be there at 7:30am and will be skipping back to my car with delight!’
