Hello,
I live in a house with three guys. The one housemate has got covid. He got symptoms on the day of my birthday so I had to cancel my party incase I had it too. He was walking around the house constantly and leaving his door open, so I had words with him and was ignored. I decided to move in with my boyfriend (he was staying with me) so that we could not risk getting covid if we hadn't already. I share a toilet with him.
I stayed away for a week, and only nipped back on day four to get some more clothes. He was sat in the living room with his girlfriend. My other flatmate had gone to his partner's and the fourth was stuck in his room. He decided to get a takeaway as he couldn't use the kitchen as the covid flatmate was in there all evening.
I told him he shouldn't have people over and why is he in the living room. If he has covid he should be in his room, but he told me that I don't have any right to tell him what to do in his personal life.
He told me he had tested negative on day 7 so I came back. He wanted to join my friends for dinner, but I said one of my friends wouldn't be comfortable with that as he had only one negative test, so he went out to dinner with his girlfriend.
It's now day 8. My flatmate who remained here, called me over. He had gone in the covid flatmate's room to get his deodorant back. When he was in there he saw all of the covid tests that had been taken. Every single one of them was positive (albeit a faint line by the end). I know it was the same test, because he had sent us a picture of the 'negative' test with the serial code on it. He had obviously taken the picture before the 15-20 minute mark.
So now not only do I have a flatmate who is breaking covid rules, but one that is also lying to me and putting me at risk of infection when I need to go and see an elderly relative.
