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).

I tested positive first then dh tested positive a few days later. DS didn’t get it .

Dd14 had it, 6 others in house no one else got it, although she was isolating in her room alot of it

My brother got it and only managed to pass it onto his girlfriend. My mum and dad live in the same house as my brother and my son goes there for childcare so it was pretty lucky noone else got it from him. He got it from his boss at work

DS14 caught it, the other three did not, but he was mainly isolating in own room and bathroom and we were very careful as DS2 gets asthma, triggered by colds/viruses.

50%
3 with symptoms and positive tests
3 without symptoms and not tested. So they may have it, they may not but I don’t fancy testing them just to find out (all under 11)

All of us, started with teens not 100% sure which one had It first as their complaint was sore throat and headache, by the time symptoms developed further and we got info from college that one had been near a positive case then had tests, I was feeling ill but with body aches and fatigue. No one had a temp. Basically it spread before we knew we had it.

All got it in the house - 4 of us .

My dd tested positive as part of the ons study on the 18th. The other 4 of us in the house haven’t shown any symptoms and are out of isolation tomorrow.

I know of 4 households that have it.

Both H and W got it on all cases.

One adult kid did.

One adult kid didn’t

4 kids aged up to 15 didn’t.

MrW had bad cold symptoms but no cough, high temp etc. DC & I had no symptoms. We have been getting tested weekly (Liverpool community testing) and had negative tests on Dec 4th. Dec 11th, he & I tested positive. Second test 12/12 +ve for us, -ve DC. 13th Dec, we both lost smell & taste. DC tested -ve. They have continued to be negative and have had no symptoms.

I tested positive but neither dh nor 3 dds had any symptoms. I didn’t isolate within the house either.

Two friends kids got it. No one else in either house caught it.

All of us (3). Other households I know - all of them (6) and another family - All of them (5)

If the new virus is up to 70% more contagious, then this obviously means that more people will get infected if there is someone positive at home.

My 7yr old tested positive through the ons covid study (zero symptoms throughout) the rest of us negative

All of us (DH and toddler)

I tested positive. DH symptoms 2 days after my symptoms. 3 DC (4,2, 11 months) no symptoms.

My mum, in our bubble, also got symptoms and tested positive after I spent an afternoon with her (including time in the car) the day before I had symptoms.

Only my partner had it, myself and the 2 children didn't or at least if we did we didn't have symptoms x

DH has it - possibly through work as GP. DS2 (11) tested positive 3 days later. DS1 (14) no symptoms so far on day 8 of isolation. Me no symptoms but vaccinated on 11.12.20 (frontline hcp contact with Covid pts) do wonder if could have passed it on asymptomatically to DH initially, and vaccine already having some effect. Hard to know though 🤷‍♀️. Both positives have minimal symptoms - only tested due to transient fever.

All of us tested positive but little DD had no symptoms and DD11 was pretty much ok just a mild cough and headaches, bit off her food for a week. I was really ill and DH was working away the jammy bastard so he never caught it

1 positive, 5 negative (tested few days later). Positive definitely caught it at school.

Just the one out of 7 of us

I'll add that we mixed within the house as she was a child

I had it and it doesn't appear that DH or the 2 DC (1 primary 1 secondary) have got it. It's been over 2 weeks now.

We didn't take any precautions. I guess I sort of avoided others by taking to my bed because I felt so ill but I still gave the kids cuddles (and DH).

DH thought he had some symptoms but had a negative test. The DC were fine throughout no symptoms at all.

We all 4 had it the same week but it may have been co-incidence - DD1 was a first year junior doctor working on Covid wards with no PPE, and my DH had been ski-ing for the week. DH returned from the slopes with a cough and then got iller and iller. I got it 5 days after my DH returned from ski-ing but was also seeing DD1 who was living with us. DD2 got it a few days later but there again she was commuting to work on crowded trains and attending seminars with hundreds of people. This was all just before lockdown. DD1 was told not to self isolate even though she was living in a household with active cases so she still went to work in the hospital every day. To be fair, they couldn’t let doctors isolate in March in London, after contact, or none of them would have been working at all. DD1 knows she had it as she tested positive for antibodies in the summer, and she lost her sense of smell that same week the rest of us were ill so probably she had it at the same time.
