When is it safe to mix again in the house?

[Beccatheboo]

Tween DC tested positive on LFT last Tuesday (no symptoms, only tested because we received an email from school advising of a small number of positives in the class - not contacted by T&T as a close contact). Positive PCR on Wednesday. DC asymptomatic (only minor taste change for a couple of days but eating like a horse!). Out of interest DC did a LFT on Saturday which was negative. DC been keeping to their bedroom (other than using shared bathroom) - quite happy with unlimited gaming and food deliveries! No one else so far has symptoms (unvaccinated teen in another bedroom; DH and I double jabbed).

At what point might we assume that it would be safe to mix again - the full 10 days? A holiday hangs in the balance if another of us tests positive…

Anyone been in a similar situation with an asymptomatic first positive?

Thanks!

We stopped isolation after 10 days.
At that point I didn't have any of the main 3 symptoms and neither dh not Dd got symptoms or tested positive. We all stopped isolating together on day 11.

And if going on holiday soon after I'd minimise mixing with others anyway, keeping it to the bare minimum and/or necessary visits.

My husband has tested positive so is isolating in our room. The kids and I will stay clear, apart from framing food up etc. My thinking is that one of us could potentially catch it on day ten then we’d have to start al over again not to mention risking someone being seriously ill which, thankfully, husband isn’t at the mo. I’m no expert though, just being cautious. Maybe someone more knowledgable will come along and say the risk of catching is minimal/ removed after X amount of days.

*taking food up

Having said that, I guess if the risk was that reduced there wouldn’t be a need to isolate!

Depends where the holiday is? If you test positive abroad can you afford to isolate there under their rules?

We are finishing our ten days of isolating today after 13yr dd tested positive. To be honest, we did what we could to reduce contact where possible (separate toilet, happily stayed in room most of day, no close contact), but we also were conscious to look after her mental health too. We ate meals together (still spread apart), and didn’t turn her away if she wanted to be with us. I would wipe taps and handles if she had been in the kitchen. I reminded myself that we would have been in close contact in the days prior to a positive result, and this was when she she most contagious (I believe!).
The rest of the household have only had negative results throughout.

@BluebellsGreenbells UK cottage holiday. We are just keeping everything crossed!

Dc got a positive test 4 days after having some sore throat symptoms (had previously been testing negative)
Dc isolated in room for the full 10 days using separate bathroom and having food delivered to room. Dc did come down and use outside area, but wore a mask when walking through the house. We kept all windows open and doors to rooms closed.
None of the rest of the family caught it luckily.

I forgot to add that we also kept lots of windows opened, day and night.

We did that too - all windows open and outside doors open during the day. We kept internal doors closed.
