My dc see their dad one night during the week and stay fri-sun every other weekend. Of course contact with their dad and his side of the family is imperative and I wouldn't want to stop it. Just wondering if the contagion risk is higher and how contact would work if we have to self isolate or quarantine eventually?

His dad has a wife and two younger kids. What are people's thoughts?

I'm in the same boat don't know what to do for best.

There was a thread about this last night. It's not a question of what people think. If the govt announce a lockdown there will be emergency powers in place that override EVERYTHING.
You won't get to decide. You won't have to decide. You'll be staying put. And so will he.

I think if in isolation, contact in person needs to stop. I know families doing FaceTime instead. Not easy, especially if for 12+ weeks but necessary.

None of us are in isolation yet fwiw. I'm just preempting. While schools remain open i don't see it as an issue unless someone in either family becomes symptomatic. But at some point down the line it could become an issue.

If there has been another thread about this apologies but I missed it.

I am in the same position and it's difficult. I've taken DC Out of school this week so they've gone to their Dad's for a few days (he's WFH) and then will come back. Neither of us are taking them out aside from a run around a field opposite.
But if a full lockdown happens they'll have to be here with me.
