Name-changed as I’ve spoken to a couple of friends about this today…
My DH tested positive on a precautionary PCR taken last Sunday after he had a slightly sore throat on Saturday night and there had been a couple of cases at his workplace (he was not a close contact of either). He lives in England for work for the most part. We live in Scotland but were visiting last weekend, stayed Fri and Sat nights, he slept in a room with the kids on one of those nights only, we left Sunday lunchtime before he decided to get the PCR.
Scotland Test & Protect contacted him even though the test was done in England, but were not interested once they found out his living situation. Test & Trace have not contacted him.
He has obviously isolated appropriately and will come out of isolation on the 22nd.
My question is regarding us - are we household or non-household contacts? In Scotland now this is the difference between also isolating for a full 10 days irrespective of vaccination status/PCR results, and coming out of isolation on receipt of a negative PCR, as I am fully vaccinated and kids are young.
We have fully isolated thus far, and have had 2 negative PCRs and 3 negative lateral flow tests each. Kids had a very low fever of 37.8 on a couple of occasions, but were otherwise completely well, barring ongoing ‘nursery cough’ they’ve had for weeks.
I don’t quite know where we stand given that we don’t live together, but stayed together in advance of the +ve PCR, any advice?
