That is scary news– I try to remind myself when I hear about new cases that some new infections are inevitable, but that in general Australia has done very well in managing the virus. That said, none of that matters once you have someone you know be potentially exposed. I hope the teachers that you have worked with get the all-clear and remain in good health.
I know what you mean about getting used to resting– it reminds me of a song title I love, called "Learning to Relax"– just like everything else, it's a skill that needs some honing and a muscle that needs some "exercise" if we haven't used it in a while.
I really identify with what you are saying about worrying about where potential infections are in public– sometimes I fantasize that I have a superpower that I can see the virus itself and therefore avoid it physically. It truly is very, very hard to get used to these times, although sometimes it feels like other people around are getting used to it much quicker.
Thinking of you and wishing you the best!
