Hi JESSICA18 welcome to the forum. As a teacher for 37 years I have sympathy for all in my ex-profession. My advice would be to go to the website of any union to which you belong and read the advice offered there. I assume Senior management are aware of all staff having conditions which accentuate vulnerability and have done their utmost to help. Best wishes.

Hi Jessica,

I agree with @ianpspurs that it must be very stressful for you at the moment. I agree that your union may be able to give some specific advice. Other than that all I think you can do is be really strict with hygiene and also reinforce that to the kids.

The only other thing you can do it keep your blood sugars as tightly controlled as possible.

Good luck and welcome to the forum.
