If you were +ve after close contact, how long before symptoms developed?

[eatingsugar]

My mother in law is in our support bubble for childcare. She tested positive this morning. (Symptoms started Sunday night)

We had close contact with her on Friday.

We’re now isolating so on day 4(from our last point of contact)

If you’ve tested positive after being in contact with another positive case, how long into your isolation did you develop symptoms?

Or have you been in close contact with a positive case abs not developed any yourself?

Anyone?

It's hard to be sure (because I cant be sure who I caught it from) but my only definite contact was with a colleague. I was with him 2 days before he got sick and I started showing symptoms 7 days after I had seen him.

Dh def caught it from me and started showing symptoms approx 12 days later (approx cause his were mild so it took us a few days to realise what it was) and ds1 caught it from him and started showing symptoms approx 12 days after him (again v mild).

Most people get sick within 7 days of a contact I believe but that wasnt our experience.

I started with symptoms 6-7 days after my husband did.

We are on day 7 after contact and my youngest has had a sniffle but that’s it .

@wendz86 was it close contact?

My daughter began having symptoms on a late Saturday into Sunday, tested Monday, positive result Wednesday. I started having symptoms late Thursday. She lives at home.

I started feeling very tired after 4 days, but felt ill after about a week.

Fizzi yes it was the kids dad so was hugging them etc and we had parents evening on video call so i was less than a metre near him.

When one my colleagues tested positive 5 of us had to self isolate due to close contact. Only 1 went on to develop symptoms and test positive, that was 10 days after contact!

10 days
