Will I ever leave the house again. Covid isolation with 3 kids.

[je11ybean]

I tested positive for covid last Saturday. Isolation ends on Tuesday. My partner also tested positive and isolation ends on Tuesday. My child has got a temperature today so we have tested him. Whether he is positive or not, does that mean the whole family (I have another 2 boys) has to isolate for another 10 days. We can't catch again surely as double jabbed and just had Covid. I understand the other 2 boys could catch as they haven't had already.

No your isolation is not extended if others test positive while you are still within the original isolation period

I wasn’t sure but read this on the gov website

Anyone with COVID-19 symptoms or a positive test result should stay at home and self-isolate immediately. This is because you could pass the infection on to others, even if you don’t have symptoms.

It makes sense that this wouldn’t apply to you since you and OH have already tested positive. Worth calling the COVID hotline to clarify.

It’s all so confusing…
