Isolating away from family?

[toots111]

I’ve just done my regular weekly LTF for work and it’s come up as positive. I feel perfectly fine! But off to do a PCR etc. The new rules mean my kids and husband don’t need to stay in if they test negative, right? But they could still catch it from me so am I supposed to completely isolate from them for 10 days?

I’m slightly wondering why we are bothering though as I reckon it’s going to spread hugely once schools are back next week.

We are seeing huge increases in Scotland, who have all gone back since the 11th. We've had more cases in our school since then than we have in total since the beginning.

Sorry, I read that as rhetorical.

Sorry, it probably was. I just saw a question and that it hadn't been fully answered. I'm not great at reading rhetorical questions or sarcasm 😕

We're just waiting for my dd's lateral flow test as she feels a bit odd! Hopefully nothing but I was wondering how our friends would feel about the rest of us going about our business as usual. If she is positive I know we will miss out on family bbqs at the weekend as I don't want to potentially transmit it to older family members. Just can't see anyone wanting to be near us even if the rest of us are negative and/or double jabbed!

DH tested positive for it three weeks ago. We are both double jabbed (kids aren't) I had a pcr and didn't catch it. He was barely ill. He isolated but just did a load of jobs at home. Nobody else caught it from him. If it was now with the new rules we would have all continued about our normal lives.

I guess all you can do is distance more than if you hadn’t got the positive! Keeping away from people you live with is easier said than done depending on your circumstances!!!

It's more if others will want to be near us!

Yes you are!

In a spare room with ideally it's own bathroom, but if it doesn't have one then you need to put on a mask whenever you leave the bedroom and thoroughly santitise everything you touch.

I read this with a WTF? expression and then saw who'd posted it 😂

I'm positive at the moment so is dd9 I havent isolated me or her I have a 2 year old so can't isolate away from her and dh is still negative so his working so I couldn't isolate my self away, toddler is still negative to
