Covid - Sleepover risk?

[CH79]

My daughter has been invited to a sleepover tonight. Another girl has been invited who's sister is currently isolating as she has covid.
She's on day 7 of isolation I think.

I don't know if I should let my daughter go. I'm anxious.
What would you do?

We've had to isolate a few times, and whilst I know the rules have changed it would affect mine & husbands work if the children had to isolate.

I don't want my daughter to miss out but neither do I want to put her & us at risk of covid.

I'd appreciate your thoughts.

I wouldn’t and I am very relaxed about Covid. DS and I have both had it on May but I think the rules on household contacts not having to isolate are crackers!

@Freddiefox

Whilst I wouldn’t send my child, this is exactly the situation we will all be in after the summer hols. Only you won’t know whose sibling has covid.

This!

Your child could be sitting next to someone, or taught by someone for 6 hours a day whose whole family have covid from next week.

DH has covid at the moment. DC and I negative.

I am still taking DC out and about under the new rules but we have cancelled any indoor playdates.

I agree OP it doesn’t seem right that the covid sister girl is going.

Unless maybe the covid sister girl could take an LFT just before?? But that’s not that reliable.

And yes it’s true that in school we will just have to take the risk - but that’s for school not a sleepover…

Fuck no.

We are currently in this position where DH has tested positive we have all tested negative and we can technically go about as normal although we are mostly not. So it makes you wonder how many people you encounter at work, shops etc that come from a household where someone has tested positive.

I’d let her go

She’ll feel unwell for day or two at most and that’s if the other child even get it, which she may not

@Watapalava are you someone who believes in chicken pox parties?

I’m fairly relaxed but this would be a no.

And I know this is the situation we’ll be in at school in September but it seems worse to go into it knowingly!

Poor form of the part of the other mum (mum of the positive sibling, not the host-they have been put in a difficult situation)

I wouldn’t have a party but I’m happy all my family ind kids have had it

I wouldn't be keen, but this is going to be an ongoing issue when they go back to school - our children could easily end up sitting next to someone with a positive family member.

I think though that I'd find an excuse not to go though, just because you can
