COVID question

[PumpkinSpicedLatte]

Hi,
A friend of mine (in my bubble) met up with me the other day for a socially distanced chat . Her husband has now shown symptoms of covid (mild cough), he’s a teacher so could quite possibly have got it as one of his students has shown symptoms . His symptoms started two days ago and they’re all going for a test today.
She hasn’t had any symptoms and was perfectly well when we met. How does this stand with me? Do I now need to isolate because I’ve seen her even though she wasn’t showing signs when we met ? I’m not sure how it works. Sorry if I sound stupid .
Thank you

Above link should be helpful.

No you don’t need to isolate, unless you’re contacted by test and trace. Just take extra care with social distancing.

No, you only need to isolate if you have contact with a confirmed positive case. Not if you’ve been in contact with someone who has been in contact with someone who may have it.

Hang on, what do you mean by “in your bubble”? The term is used by in lots of different ways.

Did you meet her outside?

If you’re in a support bubble with them, you do need to isolate until he comes back negative.

Ignore my earlier post.

Thanks everyone :)
@PurpleDaisies sorry I wasn’t very clear . I’m suffering from severe PND , so my dr has allowed me to be in contact with that one friend who’s been supporting me. Although she’s not a single person, we’ve been told we are allowed as long as we meet outside and distanced in my garden or elsewhere . I’ve not seen any family or anyone and my parents don’t live in England so I’m limited to who I’ve been able to see.

So as long as she’s not had symptoms and isn’t positive , I don’t need to isolate ?

Ok, that’s not a support bubble. Support bubbles act as one household with no social distancing. You’re just meeting a friend outdoors in a private garden rather than outdoors in a public place.

It would be better not to call it a support bubble.

Given what you’ve said now, you don’t need to isolate.

So as long as she’s not had symptoms and isn’t positive , I don’t need to isolate ?

Symptoms are irrelevant at this point because she isn’t in your household or support bubble. Even if she tests positive, you probably won’t have to isolate since you’ve only met outdoors at a distance.

If she doesn’t have symptoms, she shouldn’t be getting tested, only her husband should.
