A little tale for @nadhimzahawi from a parent supporter of #SafeEdForAll

“A child my son shares a couple of classes with (secondary school, yr 8) had finished his 10 day isolation after testing positive and was back in school on Monday…1

My son is the only child wearing a mask in lessons. The teacher was speaking to the child and it came out that although it's 10 days since infection, he is still testing positive but he has been told as he has finished his isolation period he now needs to return to school…2

My son said almost immediately pretty much the whole class ducked under their desks and re-emerged with their masks on.

The teacher sent the child to the office to double check whether he should be in school…3

The child returned saying it is correct, although he is still testing positive, guidelines mean he should be in school.

So not only has this poor child been made to feel a leper, the children are also putting their masks on AFTER finding out about a potential case

when it's TOO LATE, but we also don't know what it means that this child is still testing positive!

How can this be right?

That poor child has been humiliated and the children don't know which guideline they're supposed to follow!”

So Mr Zahawi, this is what your guidance with no scientific basis is doing to children…and you dare to discuss mental health impacts on children of isolations and remote education yet REFUSE to use scientifically recognised mitigations?
