Help on isolating someone

[Confused10101]

Could I please have some tips on how to do this..
My family has had a bereavement snd a relative is trying to travel back home to a red listed country..

She has only had 1 vaccine, second one delayed due to a flare up of a another condition

Second fire in 3 weeks time

She has vacated her rental and we are happy for her to stay with us for a month until jab and then flight back home

Issue is…she is single jabbed and has another condition which is not life threatening but ideally doesn’t want to catch Covid

Me/husband can wfh so that’s fine for 3/4 weeks

Only issue is primary school child..high chance I guess if her bringing it home

We have a room with an en-suite for the relative to use-

Plan to have our meals first and then she can use kitchen /dining table

She will stay in the room and work and we would not go into the room

In case of having to communicate happy to wear a mask

Is there anything else that can be done to support her for a month?

Bump

Maybe you could lft your child every few days to attempt to rule out asymptomatic infection? Otherwise sounds good

@emmaliz thought if that but don’t want to upset a 7 year old with too many LFTs

I’m trying to cover all other bases before considering LFTs

Why have they left the rental? Could she not return sooner , is she entitled a jab here and able to wait two weeks or getting it at home? What are the rules in the other country?

I can understand that, not the most pleasant experience. I would just consider being extra cautious in the shared areas, wiping down more thoroughly than normal (if you are like me anyway!) after use, things like cupboard handles door handles the taps, kettle etc everything that would be touched. Keep windows open etc Im not sure what else you can do.
It sounds to me like you are being very considerate and minimising the risks as much as possible

@LIZS ok this is not an immigration fraud or anything like that/ the rental agreement comes to an end and cannot be renewed unless for 6 months minimum

She is ho in g to spend sometime with family and decide what next

Her company happy for her to work from a different base for the time being

Yes she is very much entitled to get all jabs and medical care in the uk

So she is waiting for jab plus two weeks here not in the other country?

Yes- she is travelling to be with family and support her mum following death of her dad

I wouldn't isolate them at all, totally over the top. What if the get flu or a cold, are you going to isolate for that?

@idontlikealdi yes I did think that …. But since

She is single jabbed does that out her at high risk? She is 40 .. no known health issues

Incase she gets it wouldn’t that further delay her second dose?

Covid has given me a lot of anxiety as lost my dad to this …so that doesn’t help

Agree , unless she is not planning on going out at all in the meantime I'm not sure the isolation is necessary. Just hygiene measures like hand washing, keep bathroom and surfaces wiped over regularly, house well aired etc

Rather than her using the kitchen and dining room after you as a family, would it not work to cook her meals alongside yours and deliver them to her room?

@DumplingsAndStew yes the food will be cooked in one go- this is if she wants to have a meal outside of the room

Else happy to deliver it to her room

Great, am just thinking it saves on a lot of deep cleaning in between.

Can you arrange set days and times for her to have outdoor access (assuming the room doesn't have its own external door), as even being able to sit outside for a while safely will help with isolation.

Set up a couple of Alexa operate devices to use the intercom facility, or even a video device?

Not sure on the ages involved, but for movies etc Disney Plus can set something called a Watch Party, where you can set it to play on multiple devices at exactly the same time so it kind of feels like you are watching it together

If it’s a red list country then it’s irrelevant-quarantine is in a hotel

I think the travel is a red herring.
Are you saying:
A single jabbed, clinically vunerable, relative is coming to live with you (moving from elsewhere in England) for a month, how do we minimise possible covid transmission?

In which case, windows open, stay apart as much as possible. The seperate ensuite is great.
Dinner after you have all just sat in that room sounds like the weak point in the plan.

Understand you don't want to do frequent flow trats on your child. What about the adults doing them. Hopefully any infection from school would be picked up in the parents before a guest who is trying to keep their distance?
Own travel kettle and a couple of mugs in her bedroom for drinks during the day. Plus a stash of her preferred snacks - reduces the need to come into the kitchen.
Times when she can use communal facilities and garden if you have one.
