Copd

I am quite concerned and confused at the mo, i have copd ( which has flared up a couple of times during the stress of the pandemic and the cold weather now), and my daughter lives with me. She works in a school with young children of key workers. This is very worrying to me, but she seems to think it’s ok.

Does anyone think it’s ok,? I have emailed the education department asking if it would be allowed for her to be furloughed but as yet i have had no reply.

🙁

Always good to take precautions, but here is some data showing that young children do not pose a large risk of spreading COVID.
