2989 teachers in Victoria have contracted Covid in Term 1, so far. School casual budgets are exhausted, and teachers are running out of sick leave. More than 3 terms still to go in 2022. In other news, now you won’t even need to isolate if somebody in your family gets sick, you’re free to spread it to friends, elderly relatives, workmates and other families. As a bonus it will mean any time off you need to care for children or other family members with Covid will now need to come out of your own sick leave.
