I thought things were getting back to normal here in Beijing, we went a quite a few weeks with no local transmissions. People were all doing well maintaining distance, wearing a mask and just being safe but somehow another wave has hit. I was going back to my classroom to teach my students online through zoom, but now I am back teaching from home again.
The rest of the teachers at my school are still teaching from campus. Our Kindergarten teaching team got sent home because aone of the teachers lives in the same compound as someone who was discovered to have Covid-19 on the first day of this new outbreak. The patient lives over 1KM away from him, uses a completely different entrance in a separate section of the compound, additionally that whole family is now in the hospital.
So I am working from home because my coworker's teaching assistant went into my classroom to hang out with my teaching assistant. I have to stay home for 2 weeks now. This is just one example of how careful and meticulous everyone is.
By the way, I am not complaining at all. Currently, all of the KG teachers are working from home and have celebrated this and profusely thanked our coworker because none of us wanted to work from our classrooms anyway. Its bad timing because we all took the nucleic acid test a few weeks ago and it came back negative but I think he needs to retake it again.
