Question: What should happen if a child in a non-residential setting starts to show symptoms of COVID-19

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Safe working in education, childcare and children’s social care settings, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
section_headers: In non-residential settings, what should be done if a child, young person or other learner becomes unwell with symptoms of coronavirus and needs to be cared for until they can return home?
section_content: If anyone in an education, childcare or non-residential children social care
setting becomes unwell with a new, continuous cough or a high temperature, or
has a loss of, or change in, their normal sense of taste of smell, they must
be sent home and advised to follow the guidance for households with possible
coronavirus
infection.
If a child is awaiting collection, they should be moved, if possible, to a
room where they can be isolated behind a closed door, with appropriate adult
supervision if required depending on the age of the child. Ideally, a window
should be opened for ventilation. If it is not possible to isolate them, move
them to an area which is at least 2 metres away from other people.
If they need to go to the bathroom while waiting to be collected, they should
use a separate bathroom if possible. The bathroom should be cleaned and
disinfected using standard cleaning products before being used by anyone else.
PPE should be worn by staff caring for the child while they await collection
if direct personal care is needed and a distance of 2 metres cannot be
maintained (such as for a very young child or a child with complex needs).
In an emergency, call 999 if they are seriously ill or injured or their life
is at risk. Do not visit the GP, pharmacy, urgent care centre or a hospital.
If a member of staff has helped someone with symptoms they do not need to go
home unless they develop symptoms themselves. They should wash their hands
thoroughly for 20 seconds after any contact with someone who is unwell.
Cleaning the affected area with normal household disinfectant after someone
with symptoms has left will reduce the risk of passing the infection on to
other people. Read guidance about cleaning non-healthcare
settings.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer gives great information about what to do while waiting for a caregiver to get the child and what to do if a child in a non-residential setting does seem to be exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms. It gives information about how staff may be affected and what to do to reduce risk.
This is an excellent answer in relation to the question asked. It provides enough information.

section_headers: What care should be taken in residential settings, including residential schools, residential special schools and children’s care homes?
section_content: Residential settings in which no one is showing symptoms should respond to
coronavirus like any other domestic household. However, it is important that
soft toys are not shared between children.
Where a child in a residential setting develops symptoms of coronavirus:

staff can continue to enter and leave the home as required, consistent staff rotas should be used where possible and staff should follow good infection prevention control
the isolation guidance for residential settings should be followed
staff should wear PPE for activities requiring close contact
staff should adhere to social distancing guidelines as far as they are able to, but should take account of children’s emotional needs

*[PPE]: personal protective equipment

section_headers: Additional questions
What happens if there is a confirmed case of coronavirus in a setting?
section_content: When a child, young person or staff member develops symptoms compatible with
coronavirus, they should be sent home and advised to self-isolate for 7 days.
Their fellow household members should self-isolate for 14 days. All staff and
students who are attending an education or childcare setting will have access
to a test if they display symptoms of coronavirus, and are encouraged to get
tested in this scenario.
Where the child, young person or staff member tests negative, they can return
to their setting and the fellow household members can end their self-
isolation.
Where the child, young person or staff member tests positive, the rest of
their class or group within their childcare or education setting should be
sent home and advised to self-isolate for 14 days. The other household members
of that wider class or group do not need to self-isolate unless the child,
young person or staff member they live with in that group subsequently
develops symptoms.
As part of the national test and trace programme, if other cases are detected
within the cohort or in the wider setting, Public Health England’s local
health protection teams will conduct a rapid investigation and will advise
schools and other settings on the most appropriate action to take. In some
cases a larger number of other children, young people may be asked to self-
isolate at home as a precautionary measure – perhaps the whole class, site or
year group. Where settings are observing guidance on infection prevention and
control, which will reduce risk of transmission, closure of the whole setting
will not generally be necessary.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is comprehensive and informative. It lists the amount of time people need to be isolated and who those people are. It mentions what happens with both a positive test outcome and a negative test outcome. It details investigation protocol and is well formed.
This gives rich information about the question asked
