Potentially stupid question about bubbles

I'm shielded. My mum lives alone. If we formed a bubble when allowed to do so would my mum be able to see other people as long as she keeps to social distancing with them? For example, could my been-everywhere-she-can-mixing-with-all-and-sundry sibling visit mum in her garden? Mum isn't keen to form a bubble if it means she can't see the rest of the family. I'm not sure how it all works hence asking here. Thanks Smile

As you are shielded I wouldn’t risk it if I was your mum. We are almost there stay safe for now

That's my thoughts too but as a lone parent of 3 I'd benefit so much from some time to myself.

Yes she can. From what I read in the paper you would be treated as one household for the purposes of the meet up rules, so could meet up with others (with guidance of 1m from July 4th) and from July 4th could actually all meet with your sister together if you were in a support bubble with your mum.

Yes she can within the rules, as long as they maintain social distance. Whether it is a good idea or not is up to your mum to decide I suppose.

Yes, if you form a bubble you basically become one household, so the rules on who you can meet etc stay the same, it's just that you don't have to socially distance with one another.
