Is there a self isolating thread?

Because it looks like we're going to be doing this for the next week. None of us are sick, just colds. It will be three adults, and a small hyperactive cat, in a not very large flat.

I’ve had very conflicting advice. 111 said because mine and ds’s symptoms have lasted over 7 days (him 3 weeks, me 10 days) & it’s a cough/slight headache not fever we don’t need to.

I started getting a cough yesterday and it got worse today Sad

My husband is away tomorrow, i will need to see if my mum can take ds to nursery and back tomorrow.

I've texted my boss and asked for his guidance. Which I'm sure will be to follow government advice as I work in the public sector and am frontline.

OK? I am confused now, thank you for replying though.

Have contacted work to see what they say. I work with the general public so it makes me more concerned.

@ihaveaquestionplease same, I work in the front line for a public service (not health, but we do have an elderly demographic.)

I filled this in and it says I need to stay at home

People with colds do not need to self isolate as the virus does not really include cold symptoms. If you want to, that’s another matter.
