I Just tested positive for covid - can i fly to Spain for a work event on Sunday ?

[Munichfam5]

Can’t remember what the covid rules are now so any advice appreciated TIA

Do people realjSe some work places make you go in with covid as long as your well , places you will all be going too
They need to re think the measures as they only exsist for those of us that feel obliged to feel guilty
Basically if you don't test and don't have a temp it says continue of you do test stay home 5 days etc
I am on my 3rd bout of covid in a year and having to be off work sick, so will now get pulled in so prob won't test anymore

@blinkingtelly not if your jabbed you don't

yuu posting on here you clearly want one of us to say it’s ok. So I will bite. Go and do it abs out others people at risk

I’m sure you could fine the information on-line of country’s requirements.
A friend’s daughter is currently in hospital hospital with septis brought on by having covid last week , she’s had it before and been fine . Was also doing ok for 5 days this time before things turned.

There’s passing it on when you’ve no idea but to pass it on when you know is just selfish

I’m lucky to know and surround myself with people who wouldn’t even have to ask the question , they just wouldn’t fly with a pos result .

I think you can

a friend of mine just did the same (I think it’s a shitty thing to do, same as flying with any infectious disease, but people do)

all planes will have some Covid infected people on them now

makes you think though…

Yes you can

This.

FFS OP.

And also a plane full of people who have Covid but don't know 🤷🏽‍♀️

I caught covid on a Trans-Atlantic flight a couple of weeks ago. There were a couple people nearby with very bad coughs who should not have been on a plane - and I only removed my mask to eat. So annoying.

It's interesting because I flew several times a month throughout the pandemic, and never caught covid in those two years. To be honest, I actually preferred it when the rules were stricter and people were forced to be responsible and to protect others.

When left to their own devices, so many people are incredibly selfish.

Also people can rarely say for sure where they caught covid
Do what if someone was coughing on the plane they may if tested and not had covid
Unless you have been to only one place you have no idea where you got it
If you have flown you have been in airport , on a plane , on holiday or break and likely out and about before hand
It doesn't have a set incubation period
My dh has covid now he has only been to work the last week or so but no one there appears to have it , 8:9 days ago he was out and about at various things so maybe he caught it and its taken this long or maybe someone at work had it no symptoms , its impossible to know for sure most if the time, unless going around your house

You don't actually know where you caught it. It can incubate for quite a while. You could've caught in in the days either side of the flight, or on the way to or from the airport - it's probably just as likely that you caught it before or after the flight. There's no evidence that those people had Covid - we've all had a cough and a cold before.

You will have to travel like this OP

You have no way to know you caught it from them

Legally you can

Doesn’t really matter where you catch it .

If you take time to do a test and that test comes back positive, you then decide to fly anyway YOU are selfish, doesn’t matter what everyone else is doing .
its not the law now but there’s being a decent person and trying to keep your distance not sitting on a plane for 3hrs+ spreading it even more .

You have absolutely no idea where you caught it. Many people are symptomless so to assume a couple of people coughing was the cause is very unscientific

No you can't don't be so selfish. Just because your symptoms aren't too bad you might pass it on to someone who is asthmatic, diabetic, in remission from cancer or anyone who's vulnerable and won't survive. You need a negative test to fly anyway. What a stupid question.

@pixie5121 thank you so much! I will definitely be taking that advice.

No, because the Spanish won't let you. You can fly to many other countries though.

Which kind of makes a mockery of being jabbed in the first place. It’s ok to infect a load of people as long as you yourself are jabbed...?

There is one thing flying or knowing you have covid but flying g knowing you are infectious - really you would do this
😩

I would go. Covid is everywhere, you wouldn't be the only one on that flight out in the airport with it. It's in schools, supermarkets, workplaces.

If people think you should isolate still, then they're mad.

@susan12345678 my dad has a persistent cough, it doesn't sound any different from a covid type cough. Except its from Pulmonary Fibrosis. He gets all sorts fo stares and tuts when he goes out and about, despite actually being in the highest risk category and not having covid!

There's no evidence that those people had Covid - we've all had a cough and a cold before.

I get the impression that some posters think that going on a plane with a cold would also be unacceptably selfish (comment above about travelling with infectious illnesses), which just goes to show how attitudes to risk and what is a proportionate response have gone out of the window. Yes, as someone who gets terrible chest infections with cold and flu, it was lovely to have two years without colds, but we couldn’t live with the restrictions and uncertainty that came with that forever.
