Does this Government COVID 19 advice sound right
Should parents isolate as well?According to the government’s Track and Trace guidance, other members of the household do not need to self-isolate if a child has been sent home from school.It states: “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.”Though, as many have pointed out, in the case of young children, it will likely be difficult for family members to avoid contact.This rule also means, in practice, that siblings or children from the same household who go to the same school might still need to go to school, despite someone in their household having been sent home to self-isolate..So if a sibling catches the virus, they will take back into school and infect other children
