Dn had a positive lft yesterday, got a pcr booked for today. Me and the dc saw her on Sunday, dh didn't. Are we meant to be isolating, either now or if dn gets a positive pcr. Do we need to do lft? Dh and i are double jabbed but we have 5 dc who haven't yet.

Double jabbed and under 18s don't need to.

Because our country is utterly stupid, you don;t have to isolate.

IMO morally you should tell everyone the situation to give them the chance to avoid.

Thankyou. I thought that might be the case. I agree that morally the right thing to do is to isolate, whatever the legal requirement is.

If you’re u’renclose contacts and she’s PCR positive you should all get PCRs

Assuming you are in England. Need to have been double jabbed more than 2 weeks. I would limit social contact if you can

It’s up to you.

It even before the rule change your co tact wouldn’t have been within 48 hrs ( unless she was already feeling ill on Tuesday?) so you would never have been required to isolate for that. A d if she had symptoms on Tuesday your husband would have escaped

DN has now tested positive with a pcr test so we will continue to isolate.
