Our adult son has it now, he’s okay, so far quite mild symptoms and he said only a faint line so hoping he’ll recover quickly.

We got told our covid sickness policy is changing at work, it’s now on the same as any other sickness so we’ll not be paid first 3 days. They said “it’s just the same as a cold now” - I don’t know what to think of that tbh because in so many cases it’s true but there are others were it isn’t. We work with the public.

I think I’d feel very awkward working alongside someone with covid and if it happened on a week like this where I have a hospital appointment I’d be very anxious to avoid. Or what about if someone had a holiday or travel pending and needed a clear covid test.

What do others think about this?
