Questions about who can provide childcare whilst you are in labour? see advice from the MOH here
- The person who plans to provide care for the children essentially becomes an extension of the woman’s social distancing household group, or ‘bubble’
- This group must remain the same for the whole 4-week period
- The carer should not care for children from other households/families (other than their own) over the same period
- If a child or carer becomes unwell, they must stay at home and should not provide the childcare
- It is important that nobody in the carer’s household is self-isolating due to returning from overseas travel within the last 2 weeks or been exposed to a COVID-19 case.
