For those with primary-aged children at home...

Wouldn't read too much into it.
The testing centre in Burnley is for testing people without covid symptoms

Plus the kids get a day off school to queue up

Went past the COVID testing centre in Burnley this morning. Very long queue round the car park and many of the adults had children with them of school age which was quite worrying if they were there to get tested.

My children are off school at the moment (managed 3 days) as one had a cough. School wont let them back without a test. Suspect its the same.

Going to be a long winter as mine gets coughs like most periodically throughout the year and especially in winter.

Tough times ahead, for sure. We’ve already had ten off due to testing or isolating. Full staff though, thankfully.
