So, my husband works at a secondary special school as a teaching assistant. He’s been working in a ‘bubble’ of 7 children, another teaching assistant, and a teacher. On Thursday, one of the kids was off with symptoms, their test came back positive for covid Thursday evening and they told the school right away. The next day, Friday, the teacher, and the other teaching assistant tested positive at school on the rapid tests that they do. Husband was negative but sent home to isolate anyway. No real symptoms over the weekend, but he went for a test on Monday anyway, it was negative. He’s felt fine all week, until today, when he’s suddenly come down with severe aches and pains, fatigue, and chills...
I’ve booked him another test for tomorrow. I’ve been with him and the kids at home all week, so it seems futile to isolate him away in a spare room now.
I’m scared and trying to mentally prepare myself for the inevitable... does anyone have any advice for dealing with covid if I do catch it? Or any words of wisdom that might help me feel brave...
