First and foremost, schools and / or local authorities can theoretically always offer emergency shelter. But that does not always happen, and is of course not always an option if a large part of the staff is not available. However, in some places during the school holidays, such as the autumn holidays, there are youth camps or other activities. They can continue in certain circumstances.
Can your child go elsewhere? In any case, grandparents are not recommended. In principle, it is not prohibited to engage another family member or a friend. The federal government called last Friday to limit social contacts. But in theory everyone is allowed to have one person besides your family with whom you have close contact. This person could therefore take care of the child. The government did add that extra caution must be taken when dealing with high-risk patients. This concerns people who are older, already in poor health or, for example, obese. But virologists generally don’t seem to like the idea of having someone else take care of your child. “Stay indoors and in your bubble for the next few days,” said virologist Steven Van Gucht. So if that is possible, find a solution within your own family, so seemed the message here.
