It’s me and 2dcs at home - dd1 had a positive lft on Xmas eve and as a result we have massively changed our Xmas to just being on our own.

She probably had had sniffles for about 2 days prior to the test and we have been in the house together. She has been wearing a mask when we are together and spent quite a bit of time on her own in her room but joining us for presents, food etc. Other dc and I are triple vaxxed and not CEV. We will keep lfts every day. Is this ok or should she now not be eating with us etc for the rest of the 7 days? Any thoughts?

My ds 16 had it a couple months ago and he isolated in his room as the rest of us had to go to work and some of us work with vunarable people
He wAs happy to though as he spends a lot time in his room anyway
We did say if any of us get over xmas though we would 't isolate at home as we are off work anyway and would have days to test

My husband tested positive on the first day of his Christmas hols. Not a chance my son and I were keeping him isolated away from us! We've all had it, I tested on LFT but didn't bother with a PCR as my husband's had been positive. Just started testing again today as my 7 day period is now up.
Didn't test my 1 year old as I think it's ridiculous to do it to little ones.
I would relax and just let you daughter be with you. Test once your isolation periods are up to ensure its gone and that's it.

DD12 had it recently and we didn’t avoid each other but just kept our distance a bit more, ie not breathing directly on each other.
We opened the windows a bit in lounge at night, but we didn’t make her stay separate from us (and I’m CEV).

I can't imagine making my children isolate away from the rest of the family (none of us are CV). DD13 was awaiting the results of a PCR right up till 5pm Christmas Day (negative thankfully). Cannot fathom those who force their child/ren to stay away from their parents and siblings. Cruel behaviour, even when its an older teen.

We made ds13 stay to his room, disinfect bathroom after use and all his siblings came.down 2 days later when we did a day 2 pcr.
