Great. So said worker goes on the sick but any colleagues who were in close contact with them just before that are not to be informed of their identity and are expected to carry on as normal, therefore leaving them in a position whereby they can have unknowingly contracted it and then pass it on to others. Tremendous.
Total bollocks but the buses have to keep rolling no matter what.........
Yep, same thing at a friend's work.
They've had a case of COVID (one colleague goes to Northumbria University so we assume it's them as they're off sick) and were initially told to tell staff who were working with them to self isolate.
But because company policy is that staff are supposed to respect social distancing they /shouldn't/ have been in contact and therefore don't have to isolate.
They then sent out an email to all staff saying something along the lines of "If you think you've broken the social distancing rules while at work and think you may need to isolate, please speak to your manager". As if anyone is going to come forward and risk losing their job, or at the very least not get paid for the time they have to isolate.
My brother's school had a case of COVID, but they wouldn't say if it was a teacher or a student, or even what year group bubble they were in.
