Frustrated!!

So as we are all aware the school are closing their doors after Friday. So I take that means me and the kids will be self isolating for 2 weeks or however long they close for. But why are they not doing this for workers? I don’t understand they want kids and people to self isolate if they can, but most families are gonna have other half go out to work, and bring these germs home if they god forbit pick it up while they are out 🤷🏻‍♀️ are the government not helping workers yet? As my other half swears the only time he’ll be aloud to self isolate and still get paid is when one of us actually have it and need to all stay in for 14 days... arnt they aloud a choice if they want to put their selfs in self isolation with us to help protect the family. Or is it literally down to the work place and what they offer?
