Do I need to self isolate or what? So confused.

Sorry everyone, I'm really confused about this. I cant find any clear cut information on what to do because my situation is a little more complicated than "being in close contact" with someone.

Over all I just want to do the right thing, so please help me figure out what that is! Grin

Ok, yesterday me and dd (6) went to go see my DM at her caravan. DM said she was feeling a little bit under the weather, I decided to go anyway because I knew me and dd would be staying out of the way anyway because my DM had two dogs that dd doesn't like (they jump and it scares her) and honestly just thought it was a cold like my DM said so. No big deal.. 😑

DM has a fence all around the caravan and a gazebo type thing on one corner, she sat under there and me and dd sat on the other side of the fence (well over two meters away) the whole time we were there (maybe up to an hour) all good.

Only thing is, when I was there I went INSIDE the bloodly caravan to make me and DM a cup of tea. Now today, dm has sent a message saying shes tested positive for covid 🤦‍♀️ dm is fine, still just feels like shes got a cold, we're both double vaccinated.

Now, what they hell do I do! Do me and dd need to isolate now? I know we weren't in contact with DM but I went inside where she had been staying and used the kettle etc. So I'm guessing I touched stuff she has?

Thing is, dd is meant to be going to her dads and grandmas tomorrow and I'm not sure if I should keep her home and keep her off school next week, I'll have to stay off work too obviously. Ffs..

Please advise.

@JaffaRaf

Your most recent post says they’ve sent her a test but she hasn’t had the result yet? So has she actually tested positive? I’d wait to see if test and trace get in contact, it’s up to them.
Yeah I didn't understand that either. She sent a message yesterday saying she did a covid test and it was positive which is how I found it out. Then I asked her if she had told test and trace, she said yeah and that they were sending a "proper test out" Confused I'm assuming the first test she did was a LFT and the test she is waiting for is a PCR?

It’s a no from me. You don’t need to, take a test if you are worried.

I wouldn't isolate under those circumstances, but would go for a PCR
