Weekend home from uni?

[Itisbetter]

Is dd allowed to come home from uni for the weekend?

Mine can't. No entering or leaving our local area. No staying overnight in what is not your primary residence, which her uni flat now is.

It depends what tier you both are. My dd is in tier 1 & so am I so am hoping she will get to come home on Friday. Fingers crossed we both stay in tier 1.

Where are you in the country?

We’re both tier 1. She asked yesterday and I can’t find any guidance.

Tier 1 you're fine.

In tier 1 yes but you should distance

Yes and you don't need to distance. She's your daughter, give her a hug! 😉

Does she get treated like she’s in our bubble then?

She's not in your bubble, no. Presumably neither household is single person?

No one can make you distance but personally I think it'd be quite a strange move to take that risk given the incidence in the student population

No she rents a room in a shared flat, so neither household is single occupancy. She’d come home two or three times a term normally and for the holidays.

I think on balance we should go and visit her for the day.

Why? The rules don’t prohibit her from coming home as long as there are fewer than six in your household.

I would not be prohibiting my DC from returning home regardless of what the ‘rules’ say.

I thought you could only stay the night if you are bubbled?

Even within the rules you can visit and stay overnight at another household in tier 1 areas.

My DD is home for the weekend. Both tier one areas and no known COVID contacts or symptoms. We are pretty much social distancing though. A bit odd, but. It as bad as we expected (we’re. Or being really strict, more cautious).

Oops! Not as bad as we expected and we’re not being really strict, more cautious!

I think it’s only bubbles that can do that @Ecosse

“ A support bubble is where a household with one adult joins with another household. Households in that support bubble can still visit each other, stay overnight and visit public places together. “

Nope @Itisbetter, people in tier 1 areas are free to meet indoors (including staying overnight) with 6 people from up to 6 different households.

I thought you could only stay the night if you are bubbled?

No you’re wrong. Tier 1 is the same as it was before. You can still stay overnight. You are supposed to socially distance.

“ A support bubble is where a household with one adult joins with another household. Households in that support bubble can still visit each other, stay overnight and visit public places together. “

Toer 1 is the lowest Tier and is just the base restrictions, so same as before 6 people can meet inside and overnight visits are allowed. You need to social distance though. A support bubble is different as the person is then treated as part of your household and you do not need to social distance. You are right she isn’t allowed to form a support bubble with you as is not a single adult household.
