Isolated 4-year-old out of school for fear of coronavirus because his nose was running – The little boy suffered from hypothermia

Salos prevails in Great Britain after the decision of the administration of one school to isolate a child in an icy covered structure off the premises as his nose ran and showed symptoms coronavirus.

The mother of the little boy claims that her four-year-old son developed hypothermia after his school put him in isolation in what he described as an “outdoor shed”.

Chloé Wilby said Mason was kept away from other students and teachers after sending him to school with a mild cold. Following their protocols for Covid, the school placed him in solitary confinement until his parents could pick him up as he showed symptoms of the virus.

“The child could not speak and we were shaking like crazy”

When Chloé Wilby arrived, she said that 4-year-old Mason could not speak and “trembled like crazy”. He told News & Star that his hands were “red and dry”, adding: “I had to stick them up and rub them for a long time to keep them warm. His eyes watered while snouts ran down his face. “They made him eat his lunch outside.”

The young mother said she was told to call an ambulance after Mason went to the doctor because he had “hypothermia”.

Geoff Norman, principal at Wigton Infant School, Cumbria, said: “The priority for everyone at Wigton Infant School has always been the well-being of children. This includes transporting children with Covid-19 symptoms to a separate area with a staff member until they can be picked up by a parent or caregiver. For several months we have been using our outdoor classroom for this purpose and it has worked well. “After the concerns that were expressed recently, we re-examined our approach.”

Cumbria police said no crime had been found, adding: “The matter has been referred to the county council.”
