DD track and trace

[MumOfDiamonds]

Hi, I'm hoping someone has been in a similar situation and can help.

My brother in law yesterday tested positive. The day before his symptoms started my DH and DD had direct contact with him. Yesterday DB in law filled out the form online of all the people he had contact with, including my DH and DD (used my email for DD). My DH received his message telling him to isolate within half an hour but I've still not received any text for my DD. Both have now began isolating but I'm wondering if DD school will need to see proof from track and trace that she is required to isolate? There's no way for me to follow this up. My Dsis double checked all the info that was given and it was all correct. Has anyone else had this issue?

This is really interesting. Seems a bit weird that your DH was contacted but not your DD as they were on the same form.

Are school students not being sent notices to isolate, or is this a one-off mistake?

My partner needed to isolate this week after his work buddy tested positive. Work buddy felt unwel on Monday, went hone and got tested. Work sent my partner home as a precaution. Test results for his work buddy can back positive Wednesday but we didn’t hear from track and trace until Thursday lunchtime. Meant to text/call my partner once a day and they haven’t they’re useless. I wouldn’t worry they’ll be in touch at some point

They'll be in touch at some point, I know someone that was contacted 9 days later - it's just that test and trace are fucking useless.

Obviously you're doing the right thing!

It wouldn't surprise me if they've been told not to contact children / was it clear DD was a child?

Not sure what you'll need for school. I'd just call them Monday & tell them she needs to isolate. If they say they need something you can't provide or it'll have to go down as unauthorised they're not telling you the truth & I'd contact your MP. If you can be arsed, if not then just accept it. Really, this year, it's going to be the least of anyone's problems!

Hope DH & DD stay well x

It's lucky that we are in contact with my brother in law and we know to isolate, if she had caught it she could be unknowingly spreading it around school tomorrow. They didn't ask any other details other then contact details, so they don't know her age. I asked my sister this as I thought they may contact me by telephone with her been under 18.

Thank you for the well wishes. My DH is a postie so I'm surprised our family hasn't been effected sooner.

They didn't ask about age on the form, so they don't know she is a child. My sister and my husband both received their texts around the same time, so it's strange. I'm hoping they follow up with a call to my DH so he can ask about it. They called my Dsis this morning but she missed it.
