Sister stays in her room, your dad stays in his. Separate bathrooms if possible, if not your sister cleans contact points after use. Everyone who goes near your dad wears a mask. Your sister wears a mask when she leaves her room.

And ventilate, ventilate ventilate. If you keep the bathroom window open a crack and your sister's window open a crack and air out the rest of the house 2 or 3 times a day.

Ok fab

Thank you

Hoping he has escaped this
The kids can pass from us to him
So maybe he stays away from all of us?
Love to everyone affected by this awful virus ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

He absolutely needs to stay away from all of you until the isolating period is over.

I'd agree with others, I'd isolate him and her, wear masks, clean contact points etc

Hope all is ok op x

You are all potentially vectors, so yes he needs to isolate from you all. As should she.

Clean everything she may have touched. It can last quite a few days on metal.

Isolate him, if you need to go near him wear a mask and wash hands before. Clean all high touch areas, ventilate and keep kids away from him.

Wanted to double check

My sister embarrassed and doesn't want anyone to know

In his room for ten days

if not your sister cleans contact points after use.

To be safe, everyone else should clean the contains points again before they touch them, as your sister could accidentally contaminate the areas after cleaning them herself.

dublingirl66 · 12/01/2021 17:48

Yes absolutely
