Over the last couple of days I have developed a few symptoms which may or may not be coroavirus related. These are sore throat, headache, fatigue and this morning a slight loss of taste. I will be tested as part of the zoe research and will have the results in a few days. However in the meantime I am wondering the best way of keeping the rest of the household safe. In our house lives
Me
My husband - mid 40s, slighly overweight, no other health issues
Son with severe autism. He has been going to school and is most likely where I got it from but no symptoms
6 month old - wholly breastfed and dependent on me
What option would be best
A) my husband to isolate in his bedroom until I get my results? The issue with this is that I feel pretty rotton and am struggling to care for baby and son with severe autism.
B) Me to isolate and husband to bring me baby to feed when required. The problem with this option is it my older son is the carrier my husband will be exposed anyway.
C) None of us to isolate from each other and accept we might all get it.
What do people think? We will all be isolating from the wider community which ever option.
