DP and I had CV in March, symptomatic on 18th, both had a positive antibody test through DP work at start of June. DP works in chief nurse team and has worked in covid command centre in a busy city centre hospital that serves a high risk population (BAME, high levels of diabetes and poverty). I worked in children's social care so have been in and out of homes, schools and other settings throughout. I was the more poorly one in March, should probably have been hospitalised but the message then was Stay at Home. Very SOB, cough, chills, headache. DP and youngest DC mild symptoms. Middle DC was really poorly with very similar sounding symptoms end of Feb. Eldest DC never had any symptoms.
Last week I got a persistent high temp, wouldn't come down under 38.5 for 4 days. No cough. Temp was only symptom. Now I have a slight cough that started Saturday. 111 insisted I self test again last week. Waiting for results. Really hope it isn't CV again because I hoped I had immunity. Anyone else who works in public services experienced this? I have a new job at DP's hospital, starting 2 weeks today. I do not want to be stuck in an endless cycle of this crappy virus!

Covid
To feel nervous that I may have had COVID-19 twice and it's our jobs that might be at fault?
