Would you self isolate with these symptoms?

[AwkwardAsAllGetout]

I’m feeling unwell today, have been since yesterday tbh and I’m wondering if I need to officially isolate. We live in one of the areas the media are saying haven’t yet hit their peak fwiw, but I’ve been getting out every day to take baby dd for a walk in her pram. I don’t have a temperature but since yesterday I have a sore throat and feel a bit breathless, headache but my main symptom is feeling dizzy, like I need to keep my head very still to stop feeling sick. I think this is how I felt last year when I had the flu, before it really hit me so hard I couldn’t get out of bed. Obviously I’m not going anywhere while I feel poorly but do we need to isolate as a household?

If everyone who just had a headache (as you said in your post) had to isolate for 7 days and their household for 14 days, literally nobody would be outside.

No I wouldn’t. I would only isolate with the symptoms the government say.

We've just had an official email from working saying not to come to work, isolate and get test of day 3 if we have even a headache!

Just get a test, drive through’s are so quick no one’s there, you’ll get one tonight or tomorrow, results in 24 hrs, why isolate if you haven’t got it?

Yes, isolate. We all know it could be covid, who cares what the app or 111 say. I isolated with loss of sense of smell even though the govt said no need to, now they have changed their mind. Trust your instinct.
