No there isn't. However, I know it's none of my business but i am still disappointed with a friend who tested positive this morning, has symptoms and still went to work at the school, especially given her hubby has been quite bad with it this week. It just seems a tad wrong to me.

Yes it does seem wrong - could she not ring in sick (and pay penalty for doing that)?

Ringing in sick at a school means she wouldn't pay any penalty I suspect. It might have been noce to wait until Monday at least but that's just me. Times have changed with regard the rules and I understand an element of that. We have a vulnerable person at our work, so anyone who gets covid stays away for a week. We have 2 off currently for that reason

I can't get my head around people going into work with it...our company policy is to stay off for 5 days without it counting as sick leave, or to work from home in roles that allow it. I know not everyone has the luxury of that option, but I think places should adopt something similar to protect those at risk. I was terrified of passing it on to anyone when I had it as you just don't know how much it will affect people.

I was wondering what happens if I was to test positive while in Spain. Right now I have been here five days and all ok. But if I did do I travel home or do I stay.

Personally I think it's immoral and irresponsible to be mingling with people when you know you have CV19. I don't have an issue with people going out walking/running/cycling but indoors and with close contact to me is just plain wrong.

I agree. I just hope that doesn’t happen.

Not even sure if or how I could find somewhere to isolate while sending my family home.
