School infection

Did anyone see the article about a teacher who'd had C19 dying in front of her students in a Zoom lesson?

The point, surely, is not whether teachers are infected but whether they are ill. The more testing is done the more infections will be found but presumably those who tested positive did not know they were infected or they wouldn't have been in school to get tested.

The number of cases is not the important number. The important numbers are hospitalisations and deaths. Are these going up?

Year 7, 12 and 13 went back on Thursday. Years 8 and 10 went back on Friday. There had been a staff training day and staff were in school during the whole week.

But not presumably BH Monday.

Also in Blyth, Northumberland (from a friend who is the business manager), not sure if the media got that one yet.

Growstuff According to the County website, Suffolk schools opened on Tuesday 1 September and most schools will have started off with 1 or more Inset days - especially after the disruption of last term.

Couldn’t find which school in North Yorkshire ?

My thinking too. When did secondary students go back?
Perhaps staff brought it back from their holidays. I don’t think there would even have been enough time since any Inset days (prob last Tuesday, Wed) allowing for infection plus test results time too

Return depended on area I think.

From a personal point of view, I hope it hasn't come from the community because I was planning on going to B and Q in Haverhill this week!

Another two teachers have also been tested and awaiting results.

Sounds as though they already had it though, doesn’t it? As the students have only just returned......

Not necessarily. The first pupils were back on Thursday. There had been a staff training day and it wasn't announced until Sunday. Investigations are taking place to find out where it came from and how it's been transmitted. Meanwhile, the pupils who cam in contact with the teachers have been asked to self-isolate and there are some pupils waiting for results.

Sounds like the teachers took it into the schools as they ve only just opened

Can't do the link on my phone, but it is Haverhill. 5 infected teachers.

I'll have a look Bluebell. Think it was Haverhill?

You have a link? I live in Suffolk and haven’t heard about it ? Not saying it doesn’t exist just saying nothing on local news etc So a link would be good as Suffolk is a very big county it would be good to see some more information
