Will people who work with children get fed up of doing a covid test at home

My missus is a dinner lady and when she went into work friday she was given a covid test kit to do the test twice a week but after watching my missus do the test I don't think people will do the test as it's to much messing about with the test then she needs to email her employer with the results.

I work for the NHS and have been doing them since last Nov - you can either be responsible and professional or not.

I know which I would rather (and also what my patients would chose)

I’m sure compliance won’t be 100%, from staff or pupils.
aside from the faff factor, some people will be concerned that a positive result will mean needing to isolate and the consequences that will bring.

Just do what is happening in many places in the private sector "no vaccine, no job" and extend it to "no verifiable test, no job"

It should only be necessary for a few months while the vaccines are being rolled out, unless too many people succumb to the ridiculous anti-vax propaganda.

It should only be necessary for a few months but before the vaccine rollout started they were already starting to condition people for it being autumn before we get back to normal, then it was winter, then it was next year and I think most recently it's "several winters."

Which could, quite possibly be illegal and unenforceable. And hopefully employers who try it on will be taken to court/a tribunal for a definitive answer.

I am not sure people will get fed up of it no, I know people who have been tested every day at work since last May, it just becomes routine, rather than getting fed up of it and giving up.

Hopefully it is proved completely enforceable, the same for hospitality venues, then we can keep the anti-vaccination idiots away from the rest of us.

And those unable to have a vaccine.

Who should be able to provide a medical exemption letter or similar.
I would hope that the majority of people with a genuine medical condition  wouldn't mind doing this.

When something is about the safety of employees, customers and the families of both, then I would hope any court would apply common sense and intelligence and throw such frivolous time wasting claims out (verifiable medical conditions aside - and even then additional protocols, at the cost of the employee, should be in place).
