DS (who has just turned 18) was informed by a friend on Monday they had tested positive (He'd been with them Saturday evening) cue DS grumbling that he now had to SI (he's on zero hours contract so now won't get paid) He did a lateral flow test immediately and it was negative. He then started to feel a bit rough and took a PCR test yesterday and it came back positive this afternoon. I organised the PCR test so put in my email and his mb so we both got the results. I've forwarded the emails to him, I'm not sure what/how many texts he's received. I've received several emails because he hasn't responded, and they say they are going to call him regarding who he's been in contact with (nobody except the house hold since Saturday evening, and obviously were SI)
Test and Trace are asking him to complete a form, but he's not up to doing it. I was up with him in the night, he had an absolutely raging, temp, was vomiting so much he had a dramatic nosebleed and has been asleep all day. We've only been in to him to make sure he's drinking water. He's certainly not up to dealing with emails/texts. I think he might be able to grunt down the phone if he gets a call.
DH is worried DS might get a fine. I'm saying it'll all be OK, but even I'm getting stressed out about it (we've got a lot that we are trying to remotely reorganise as we're SI).
He can't be the first person in this situation?
Also DS is asking "When will this stop?" as his head hurts so much, and I don't know what to tell him. He's hasn't been this poorly since he was a toddler.
Sorry for long post, I'm a bit stressed and want to do the right thing.
