Can us 'what should I do?' brigade convene?

My what should I do:
My colleague's husband and daughter had covid tests on Wednesday. Colleague didn't tell us and came to work Wednesday and Thursday. Husband and daughter received positive results late Thursday. Colleague got tested Friday. Received positive result today.

She doesn't share our very small office but pops in for a chat, to use the kettle and sometimes to hot desk (realise now this is stupid and we'll stop it) Saw her on Wednesday morning for maybe 10 minutes in the office. Office is maybe 10m by 3.5m. 4 desks in a row facing the wall. She's additional to the 4

We got sent home Friday for the building to be cleaned. Work are expecting us in Monday but should we be isolating?

Has your colleague had any symptoms, OP?

The 15mins and less than 2m is bollocks. They had to set a limit they could work in. All she has to do is breath out once and you breath in once.
Or sit in a car for a few minutes or walk past someone in a supermarket. You don’t need to be sat there for 15mins. I would say to isolate for 14 days.
She broke the rules by coming in when they had a test. The rule is if you are having a test then your household isolated with you. She is stupid and selfish.

Can you link to evidence saying you can catch this by walking past somebody in the supermarket?

Genuine question.

Firstly your colleague is an idiot.

She should have isolated once her husband or daughter developed symptoms. They may have bern tested on Weds but had symptoms on Monday. So she potentially attended all week.
Personally i think she's comitted gross conduct.
