To think he shouldn’t be meeting DSD who should be restricting movements

Not sure if IABU. DH is meeting DSD (20) for a walk. He hasn’t seen her since just before Christmas. A very close contact of hers tested positive last Friday, she tested negative on Monday but should still be restricting movements under the rules (also it takes a while for Covid to develop so she could of course be positive). Neither the person who tested positive nor DSD have any symptoms. If it were my daughter I would probably want to see her and take the risk, but he is also risking all of us, and our minder who lives with vulnerable parents. He says he won’t be giving her a lift in the car to the walk, but I’m not sure I believe him, and this will leave her taking public transport. He says this is his daughter so of course he must see her, but in my mind, in a week’s time he would be able to see her safely. I admit I don’t slavishly follow the rules at all times (but mostly have) but in my mind the risk of hospitals being overrun next week is so great we shouldn’t be taking any risks. AIBU to be annoyed at him?

I was recently isolating due to being a close contact. The inform they give you says you're not even allowed out for exercise. Having a negative test doesn't change anything.

Information, not inform.

That’s what I thought. To be honest even if it wasn’t in strict accordance with the rules I wouldn’t be worried if I thought the risk was low - but at the time she was tested it would have been unlikely that she would have tested positive anyway as the time period between exposure and testing was too short.

So she could easily be asymptomatic positive.

People like this are the reason 10000 people have been admitted to hospital with covid since Christmas. But obviously because it involves a child of someone's it doesn't matter. Except it does.

He met her yesterday. I guess it’s done now.
