Would you go on holiday if covid positive, trying to settle an argument!

If I tested positive then no, as I would ensure I had Covid cover on my insurance and would travel another time.

Peonies12 · 26/06/2024 16:26

I would never have tested in first place. People go on holiday ill all the time.

NamingConundrum · 26/06/2024 16:26

Wouldn't know as wouldn't test. If I felt well I'd go. If I thought I felt like I had a cold I'd have some meds and go. If I felt awful I wouldn't be going no matter what it was.

summersofdoom · 26/06/2024 16:26

I wouldn't have tested either.

It depends how "ill"is ill, how you are getting there, what kind of accommodation you organised

St travel insurance covers cancellation for COVID.
However I know most people don't test and this is why I wear a mask when flying. I think these days if you are vulnerable as I am then you have to accept that COVID is around and you may catch it.
I don't let that stop me but I would not want a holiday spoiled.
Of course some fit and healthy people can still be pretty unwell with covid.
I'd say UK - go. It's easy to go home if you're poorly.

WhatWouldJeevesDo · 26/06/2024 16:25

I wouldn’t really want to because it would mean being in close proximity with someone with health anxieties.

Cornettoninja · 26/06/2024 16:24

Depends. If the Covid is causing real illness then probably not. If it’s just an annoyance the I’d still go.

no one is testing anymore unless they’ve a reason to and I think anyone half conscious would be unsurprised to encounter it anywhere, including a plane.

said as someone with no B or T immune cells currently.

UltramarineViolet · 26/06/2024 16:22

I wouldn't have tested in first place so hard to answer but yes I probably would as long as I didn't feel really awful

Wear a mask if you're on a flight or in other crowded area obviously

beckybarefoot · 26/06/2024 16:22

It would depend on if I feel well enough to travel!

Some will argue it's selfish to expose others too it.. but, just in my place of work, if we have covid, if we feel well enough we have to go to work!

To be fair, and I was all for masks etc.. I don't even test now, what's the point?

mitogoshi · 26/06/2024 16:21

Yes but I wouldn't know because I don't test. I use the am I ill test instead

TipsyKoala · 26/06/2024 16:21

I wouldn’t know because I don’t test, who does? Whether I went on holiday would be based on how I’ll I felt.

Fooshufflewickjbannanapants · 26/06/2024 16:20

Nope but we have very vulnerable people in our household

Mamabear487 · 26/06/2024 16:19

Yes absolutely

WhatWouldJeevesDo · 26/06/2024 16:18

How expensive is it to cancel? How many people going? How ill?

Beginningless · 26/06/2024 16:14

Yes of course. It’s not 2020.

Yes. If I felt well enough. But then I wouldn’t have tested.
