How many times have you had to isolate?

[covetingthepreciousthings]

How many times have you had to isolate and/or test so far? Either from lockdown or from schools returning?

We're upto 3 times now since the end of August, and I'm not sure how much more I can take of it. It's just seemingly like a continuous nightmare. Are we just unlucky or have others been in a similar boat?

1 week in March with symptoms
2 days in June with symptoms and then negative test
Test in September as part of study, no isolation needed (negative)
Currently isolating and waiting for my test this afternoon due to symptoms
So 3 tests and 3 isolating periods so far.

Test:
3 for me (via the Zoe app - they asked me to test and all were negative)
1 for DS1
1 for DS2

Isolate:
3
The first was 2 weeks at the start of lockdown with DS1 with a cough
The second was just for a day when DS2 had a cough but test was negative
The third was just for the weekend when DS1 got the cough from his brother and test was negative

twice but for less than 2 days on both occasions as we got a test quickly for DS and it came back the following day negative.
