Visit house in COVID hot spot

I have to collect something from a property that’s in a local area with very, very high COVID figures. I can’t contact the owners to ask if they have it or not I just have to turn up. Would you?

What are you collecting?

DanNC123 · 29/03/2021 14:30

What counts as a covid hot spot?

DanNC123 · 29/03/2021 14:43

@Dementedswan yeh i will be staying outside, it involves collecting a parcel but I can sanitise after I collect it I guess. I will be wearing a mask, they won’t.

@Hotcuppatea just my words but I’m using them as the area has a lot more cases than any other area. Schools closed because of outbreaks.

Assuming you're in the UK, even at the absolute height after Christmas when the Kent variant was going absolutely mad, the worst anywhere was about 2000 in 100 000 people having it, which is the same as 98% of people didn't, and we're many orders of magnitude lower than that now.

Take normal precautions and you've probably more chance of being in a car crash on the journey than catching covid.

Are you in England?

If so I think you are over-thinking, there isn't anywhere that you can't go and collect something from someone's dropstep.

Are schools closed because of outbreaks or has a child has tested positive in a LFT and their form/bubble/year group has had to stay home for two weeks?

DanNC123 · 29/03/2021 15:42

Local School totally closed.

I am overthinking it, I know. I suffer from anxiety. The issue is that I have a big life event coming up and I don’t want to risk being in the situation where I need to isolate.
