If a member of your household tested positive, how many of you also got COVID?

[SeaOtterPatrol]

Just that really - if one member of your household tested positive for Covid, how many others also got it?
Intrigued as DH is positive for Covid and currently we're on day 8 of isolating and me and DC aren't showing any signs (I know there's still time).

Not me but I can tell you about some friends/family if you like?
Parents gave to each other.
Teenager daughter hit covid... Both parents and sibling got.
Secondary school aged child got... 1 parent did, primary and dad missed
Primary aged child got.. Mum did... Dad and younger sibling didn't.
2xPrimary aged child.. No one else got

I developed symptoms on day 10 of isolation (DH tested positive first) and tested positive but DC never showed any symptoms at all. I was surprised it took so long for me to get it - we weren’t really isolating away from DH at all.

In hindsight I did feel a bit ‘off’ for a few days before I developed a cough, but I’d put that down to running myself ragged looking after everyone

I was positive. The two other people in the house tested negative.

Household transmission is about 50%, depending on the make up of the household.

I got it first, 3 days later DH started with symptoms, we're on day 13 now and so far both DDs haven't shown any signs.

What we seemed to have noticed generally at work (large employer in area that's been in additional restrictions most of the year so cases regularly pop up) is that the if a infant school aged child gets the parents often miss it or just one get... Despite the fact you need more interaction with a child so young.

Where as teenagers/another adult gets it seems to be a higher rate... But by no means inevitable...
.. Which fitted with old theory that primary children spread it less than others

I tested positive and out of my 3 children only one got it. Did not distance as single parent

All four of us within two days. We all tried to stay in separate rooms but DH must have been infectious before his symptoms showed.

4 out of 5 tested positive, but not all had symptoms, we were tested for the ONS study. No one had a cough.

You may be positive. Just asymptomatic.

That's why everyone has to isolate without symptoms if in contact with confirmed positive.

That and you are contagious up to 48 hours before symptoms.

1 teen positive, 2 adults and 1 child negative and 2 children not tested as no symptoms. No isolating within the household.

As soon as I spiked a fever I isolated from my family, husband came in with food wearing masks and kept a distance and I kept my room very well ventilated. I stayed isolating until day 9/10 and no one else got it. I am now two weeks past fever and we seem to have avoided it spreading. The day before my symptoms started we spent several hours in the car together, so seems we did well. I wonder if my primary aged kids have had it asymptomatically.

Dd2 was positive first. I tested positive the following day.

Dd5 and DH showed no symptoms. Our isolation ends tomorrow.

First time 3 out of 4.
Second time 2 out of 4.

I got symptoms on Monday and my positive result on Xmas day.
Dd had symptoms on 27th and DH today. Just ordered tests for them but I’m guessing they’re positive.

I tested positive and was ill. Dh and teen dd didn't nor got any symptoms.

6 out of 7 of us (living in same house) contracted it. The only one that didn't was the toddler (nearly aged 3.
Some of us had symptoms but not others but we were all asked to get tested by Public Health England as one of us is employed by them.

DH tested positive on Xmas eve, 10 days after exposure to his boss who was positive. Me and 2 DC's have mild symptoms but tested negative on Boxing Day. We haven't isolated from DH as he would have been infectious long before he got tested. Isolation ends on 2 January but I know there is still time for us to get it. Hopefully not!!

Two close friends have had it. The first one gave it to her husband and two children (aged 5 and 3). The second one gave it to her husband and one child (aged 1) but not her 4 year old. The one year old was asymptomatic though.

My nhs worker daughter tested positive on a routine test. She had no symptoms.
No one in the house had any symptoms at all , (3 of us asthmatic ) household of 5.

I tested positive. Husband didn't catch it. There are only the two of us and we stayed in separate rooms for the whole of the 7 days I had to isolate (was back in June so 7 days not 10.) Must be so much harder not to transmit it if there are kids to look after.

All 5 of us have tested positive for covid in the last two weeks but dd21 has no symptoms at all but still positive.

I know of 4 households where 1 person had it and no one else got it or had antibodies.
One of my friends wife had it but he didn't have any symptoms so didn't do a test but turned out he had antibodies!

Some of you may have already had it and been asymptomatic so it looks like you're not getting it

5 out of 6 in our household.

2 no symptoms at all and 2 a week after the other 3.
