Im confused do I isolate? Help

[StillThinkOfUZac]

OH has tested positive doing lateral flow. I then did one but its negative. LO has been unwell with similar symptoms as OH but wont let me test her.

We have not yet been jabbed. OH will be isolating, but do I need to isolate?

There's one other get out - at least according to the schools I work in. If you havent been vaccinated for medical reasons then you don't have to isolate either. Not really sure why not because your risk to yourself and others would be the same as any other unvaccinated person but apparently that's the rule. Possibly a discrimination thing, idk.

Here is the official line

And same advice but written in a more user friendly way on the NHS here
