School in Chester shut because some of its pupils recently came back from an Italian ski trip to Bormio. Bormio is 250km by road from Codogno.

the spawns school has sent an email today saying if your child has been to or come into close contact with anyone who has been to China, Vietnam, Iran, Myanmar, Laos Cambodia or northern Italy in the last 14 days, then come and collect from school ASAP and keep them off pls

the headmaster in chester has said “regardless of the public health england guidelines, I’m going to close the whole school anyway because someone has come back from within 200miles of a case cluster with a bit of a sniffle”. Bell end. The other school - the one Pinko mentioned - is also just a case of the sniffles as yet but the need to quarantine the symptomatic returnees has apparently left them short of staff.

HK has said the schools will be shut until mid april. So they won’t close the fooking PRC border because they’re such political kiss asses, but hang your children’s education.

None of the current suspected cases in cheshire will test positive.

Haven't they decided that you can pass it on even when not showing symptoms?

To be fair 250km is like a twenty minute drive if you drive like an Italian so a few people may have whipped out before the quarantine.

Sounds a bit mad. Presumably done on the basis that they probably flew via one of the Milan airports.

My colleague/office neighbour, who came back from Bormio yesterday, has now been self-isolated for 14 days (after spending the whole of the day in the office).

I am not yet showing any symptoms.

Like flu they think it is potentially infections during the two day ramp up to symptoms showing and that people with only very mild symptoms can be infectious. But if you’re not coughing or sneezing then you’re unlikely to spread it.
