Local-ish (3 miles away, nephew goes there, tri club use the pool for swimming coaching) secondary/sixth-form closed for a week and a bit. One of the teachers has tested positive after a half term holiday in Northern Italy. They haven't had any contact with any pupils since before half term but, as a precaution, some of the other teachers are having to self isolate as they may have had contact. Insufficient teaching staff = school closed until 10th March.
Doesn't affect my nephew as much as he's lower sixth but the school is a destination for children from my daughter's primary school so I know a fair number of parents who suddenly have a Y7-Y11 child to look after for the next week.
