It’s the same in school bubbles, if you have children in year 3 and year 5 and someone in the year 3 bubble tests positive your y3 has to isolate but not your y5 despite sharing a house.

Both my kids were sent home as there was an outbreak in my sons class. Both had to isolate. One is in p4 and other p6 so different classes. We are in Scotland though

@lynsey91 I think we’re meant to be walking round reciting the rules to ourselves constantly so that we can know them whenever we’re called upon to. If you have to double-check anything on the website, you’ve failed Wink

Also, i swear i still dont know anybody who had it!! Well one person actually. Parents of a school friend died in a nursing home from it, but to me, it still seems like a news item.

It's not that lynsey91 didn't know the rules - it was her sneering if anyone who wasn't sensible enough to follow her version of the rules due to excuses like work...

@WaltzingBettynope, I was specifically referring to the comments along the lines of “I can’t believe people still don’t know the rules”. It was those that I found laughable and slightly offensive.

If everyone on the household had to isolate every time one of the family did, my sister wouldn't have been to work for nearly 2 months.

I hope she is having another baby too Smile

Some people are just damn rude on here. If you haven’t had to deal with isolation and testing, why would you know the rules. I have asked plenty of advice on mn for things I don’t understand about covid. I was totally confused when my children were sent home from school last month. Now I’m more clued up as we were affected by it.

But you don't know the rules surely you wouldn't post berating people for not doing the right thing? That is rude.

I certainly wasn’t berating, you must be reading something totally different to what I posted. I only stated that in my area my two kids had to isolate when one of them had a covid case in their class.

No, but the poster who prompted all the comments was

Ooops sorry 😞

@lynsey91

So she has been in contact with someone who tested positive for covid but anyone she has been in contact with doesn't have to isolate because she has not tested positive!

I thought we all knew that you can pass it on without showing as positive and/or that it can take a while to show as a positive test.

It's a joke

This is the same rule for everyone...

They are printed everywhere recited and repeated everywhere popping up all over the Internet mumsnet bus shelters in the gym in the loo front page of the news all OVER the television

You would need to be living under a rock somewhere not to have some tiny clue

Because contacts of contacts isolating would close down whole schools and businesses. She's taking 2 LFTs a week as standard plus extra ones before engagements.

Imagine little Johnny gets covid. All his class and teacher isolate. But as contacts of contacts, there's also 58 addition parents isolating plus all the other siblings. The teachers have to isolate obv but also their partners and their children. There's 5 teachers in our class so potentially another 15. Plus Johnny's parents are isolating but also the other staff at the hospital his Dad works at and the nursery where Mom works. Johnny's 3 siblings have to isolate but also all their fellow pupils and teachers. And that's before you get to anyone outside of school. It's untenable

Yes I know that but if you haven’t been affected and never had to isolate before it can all be a bit bewildering to some. I never knew what a lateral flow test was until last month.
