Would you stay away from family I this situation?

[bettys9thleg]

Dd has been to stay with her dad over Xmas eve and Xmas day. Came back yesterday and my family did 2nd Xmas so were all together to do gifts and had contact with dd.

Now her dad has messaged to say he's tested positive today but had been testing negative over the whole period she was there.

We've both tested negative this morning.

My mom and sister have massive health anxiety and this will make them so worried. Should I stay away from them till we know we're clear? How long would that be if we did?

Would make me sad not to spend time with them is there any point now they have already seen dd?

You should be positive within 4 days if you have it. But honestly, what’s the point now? Unless they are vulnerable I would just crack on.

I would.

Yes it may be that DD had the virus and they are already exposed, but caution isn't a bad thing.

I would stay away until at least 5 days has passed.

Your DD may be incubating the virus but might not yet have been contagious yesterday. I'd say she's very likely been exposed to it while she was with her dad and you just need to wait and see what happens this week. It wouldn't be very fair to keep mixing with others though when you can avoid doing so.

Don't increase

You say you've both done tests. Are you talking about LFT or PCR? If your DD has had contact and you intend to mix, then a PCR really would be good to do.

I think you need to discuss it either our family either way. If they're not comfortable, then you have to respect that and not put them at risk.

Thanks everyone.
Im so pissed off at him. He'll have caught it on a night out in London not being careful selfish arse.

We did lateral flow tests we had at home. I might book her for a PCR it's not technically her house hold but she was there probably sharing her dads bed for 2 nights.

Thing is you can catch it just from going to the supermarket or on.a bus. You have no proof he caught it on a night out.

Covid is an airborne virus it’s like any other airborne virus you’ve caught in your life! You never know really where you’ve caught it…except now with testing and tracing. I don’t think you can blame your ex.

But yes I would not go near people for the next 5 days and test

Test and Trace will recommend a PCR I believe, so I would go ahead and get one booked.

Booked for PCR tomorrow. I know I'm being unfair to ex by being annoyed with him. I'm just pissed off his family got dd for Xmas and now we miss the fun with my family because of this.
