Positive test in support bubble - advice needed

[Stealthynamechange]

Morning all

Im hoping someone can offer guidance.
My dp is my support bubble - we live in 2 households, both nhs but different trusts. I have ds (3) 4/7 his dad 3/7. Exh is abusive - ive nearly completed freedom programme was cut short pre covid.
Yesterday dp tested positive for covid. He is pretty much asymptomatic, no fever, cough or loss of taste, was only tested as an outbreak on a ward.
I had swab yesterday my results are negative.
Ive been advised to self isolate with ds for 14 days. Im wfh, whilst trying to look after him.
Exh is not happy about this.... (not that he called ds yesterday despite my offer & him being off work )
Exh works 3/7, lives with his dad.
Im wondering if it would be reasonable to allow ds to go to his dads?
Ds last had contact with dp sunday morning (4 days) , i last had contact tues morning (2 days).
Thoughts please?

Track & trace just send a questionaire says to self isolate, no real help at all tbh.

How is that not helpful? You self isolate (as does the rest of your household)

The advice is that a support bubble is treated as a household. Therefore as your son and dp are part of the same bubble your son must self isolate which unfortunately means going nowhere. Hope that helps.

My understanding would also be that although your test result is negative the generic blurb about going back to work due to testing negative doesn’t apply in your case. A negative test simply means you don’t have the virus at present but you could still be incubating it as it may be too early for it to show. I believe the bit about going back to work only applies to people who had been tested due to having potential symptoms, where as you’ve been tested due to a member of your bubble testing positive and you are at a reasonable risk of developing the virus. It’s very possible that you could be incubating the virus but have been tested too early to test positive therefore you need to self isolate as instructed by track and trace. It’s all very confusing but in your case although you’ve tested negative at present you aren’t in the clear yet as there is a reasonable chance that you will come down with it in the next week. So you too must self isolate.

I hope you all stay well.
