To ask guests to take lateral flow test?

[Blue1212]

It's our sons 1st birthday party on Saturday and we are planning a get together in the back garden.

We don't have a massive garden, and although we won't be going over the numbers allowed, it could be difficult for everyone to distance.

My brother qmd his family, has just phoned up to cancel as their daughter has just tested positive for covid, and our dd's school has sent home two classes from her year group today.

Aibu to ask all adults attending take a lft as a precaution?

Noooo I probably wouldn't come. But then again, it's not normal in my circles to test regularly. If the people you're invited, rest regularly anyway then why not. I do agree with previous posters though, if you're uncomfortable then just don't have a party.

I probably wouldn’t go.
I have never taken a Covid test and am not planning on doing so until I go abroad on holiday next month

I record all my tests for the Zoe App I counted them the other day 84. So yes for me it is like washing my hair or brushing my teeth.

Not unreasonable at all, we all did one on Saturday eve to watch the football together from 4 different homes in a similar set up and i think it was just common sense.
