Funny story- COVID testing of pupils in schools- the rules have actually changed twice in 24 hours.
Last night apparently plans were dropped to test pupils daily. That's great, because not one of us were aware that was the plan in the first place- the detailed government guidance zip file and the hours of training videos never said anything about daily.
At lunchtime the plan changed again with an email from Gav. I have to admit, I don't even know what we are doing with the students now. Not testing them it seems, unless they have been a close contact of someone who is positive AND they have parental consent. Currently our school have around a 20% consent rate.
Staff however are now being tested twice a week, which is a vile experience. It is also worthless at the moment since most staff are only physically in oncd a week or once a fortnight, so only those of us going in every day have the pleasure.
I am officially negative again today though
