Pinged by app while on holiday what to do

[YellowSunshineSky]

I'm with DH and kids. We're currently staying with DHs mum (arrived yesterday). Due to go and stay in a cottage near my mum tomorrow so we can visit her.

Then due to go on a holiday on way back on the 30th with a DC from another family joining us.

Just had a notification from the app saying I've been in contact with someone who's tested positive and to isolate until the 31st.

I've not been in close contact with anyone, just been in services to the loo yesterday on way up and in a shop this morning. Both times I stayed well away from people.

DH is out with his mum and so I can't yet discuss with him.

What would you do in this situation? My options are:

• Give up on holiday and go home, go to other bit of holiday on 31st
• Go to first cottage tomorrow but isolate there (do the rest of my family isolate too or just me as I got pinged?)
• Ignore the app as I haven't been in close contact with anyone

We have LFT tests with us but they're in the car with DH. All four of us tested negative yesterday morning on those.

I wouldn't spoil a holiday for a ping, no.

Personally, I would ignore the ping as you're not legally obliged to isolate from it. I got sent home from work on Monday as work believed I'd been in contact with a positive case last week sometime. I rang NHS 119 helpline when I got home for advice and they said as long as I hadn't been directly contacted by T&T, I wouldn't have to isolate and it wasn't my obligation to do so. I can't return to work until nex5 week, as they won't allow me back and I'm due to go on holiday tomorrow 🤷‍♀️. I'm doing 6 hourly LFD tests and have a PCR test booked for tonight to double check I'm negative. I'm having anxiety attacks over it though, even though NHS have said I'm fine to go out.

Delete the App.

Take a test. I wouldnt worry.
