Is daughter safe to come home?

Daughter who is away at university has had coronavirus. She is out of isolation tomorrow according to the government advice and is allowed to go back into uni and carry on life as normal.

She is desperate to come home for a few days visit as she has been very unhappy since leaving home in early September, then even more miserable with coronavirus and isolation.

Is she safe to come home this week?

@Lemonsyellow

But has she actually tested positive? She had a test. What were the results?
Yes, she tested positive.

I've just picked up my daughter today from university to come home for a while.
She tested positive 12 days ago.
She's isolated until yesterday.
I tested positive on the antibody test a couple of weeks ago.
Neither of us have had any symptoms.

I just want her home.

Thank you for the advice and helpful comments.

She will be coming home when she is out of isolation.

Good on you.

Was she poorly with it? Quite honestly, especially given you’d had the antibody test (and yes yes I know not infallible) if my DD was struggling, I would have picked up on day 1!

If you are both in tier 1 then yes. Otherwise you can’t as cannot have people mixing indoors from different households in T2/3 and she now lives at uni and her household is her house there

So my dd's household is now a tiny room in a huge hall of residence? Where students have to eat in a socially distanced way at individual desks in an impersonal canteen? Where most interactions take place via zoom? Where's she's struggling to make friend?

That's her home for Christmas?!

My DD's home is our family home. She goes to university and stays over there for the purpose of accessing education. Her university flat is not her permanent home.

Dd is currently living alone in her flat of 4. The two older post grad students have left for home once their pace teacher training went virtual. The second year student never arrived. Due to exam mess ups in the summer my first year student dd lost her first choice so didn't have first year halls, though we are on a waiting list for them. So dd is coming and going at present - some days/weeks there, and some at home.

six confirmed reinfection cases out of 43 MILLION cases world wide

  • and if OP's daughter is going to be number 7 then she's as likely (likely more so) to catch it again at uni as back home, and I'm sure everyone would rather she was back home to be unwell. So it's not even a deciding factor to stay put. Glad she's coming home 🏡
