she can move in with a friend, but if she comes back after a month, how would she come home?

I guess she’d have to isolate? It’d depend on the rules at the time - Boris said he wanted to get back to almost normal by the end of July.

But as for moving in with a friend. You are not supposed to unless there are problems at home. And I’d say it also depends on the age of them, and if they’ve lived with each other before. If they’ve not stayed with each other before, what would they do if they found they don’t get along when with each other for an extended period?

We said to our daughter (at the beginning of lockdown) that her boyfriend could move in with us. He used to stay with us 3 days a week anyway, so I know he’s fine to live with, he was having trouble at his home, and they are both 18. He hasn’t moved in though, as his home situation has improved. They miss each other terribly.

How old is she? Cant she just wait? There is not really any need to do this right now.

thanks,
she is 20,
so after a time it may coincide with the getting back to normal

It might - or if things get worse again- she might be advised to stay put, or self isolate when she comes back to yours.

My nephew is planning on coming g home from university in a months time and is having similar discussions with his parents.
