to not want to get dd from uni?

[Noideawottodo]

She's been isolating at her bfs house for 14 days. He and all his flatmates tested positive for covid. She developed symptoms, fever, cough, sore throat. Didn't get tested just assumed she had it. That was 10 days ago.

She wants to go back to her own house in a couple of days when she's done 14 days. But a flatmate in that house has just tested positive, if she goes there she will have to isolate again for 14 days.

She's really struggling. She's had a row with her boyf and can't bear to stay there for much longer. Her proper house mates didn't want her there as one is vulnerable.

Anyway she wants to come home. I don't want her home as I can't risk my other dcs getting it before they are due to go back to school in 10 days (they are having a 2 week half term). She says she'll self isolate in her bedroom, but i will have to collect her in the car and drive her home for 2 hours so if she still has it I will catch it?

I'm very confused and don't know what to do for the best.

Ps OP glad dd is home with you.
All the talk of uni students potentially not being allowed home for Xmas Is unsettling for our greenly new young adults many of whom have been in tiers 2&3 and away from their usual support

It has not been the uni experience most students would get , understandably so, but we ought recognise that they are very vulnerable to becoming isolated in new unfamiliar environments

I have a son in her first year at uni and check on him regularly by video chat. I hope he would tell me if he wasn't coping emotionally and regardless of any restrictions I would go get him in a heartbeat because not coping & deepening despair when feeling genuinely isolated can escalate quickly

(Unless he was in self isolating period of course! )
