Visiting a house where someone is isolating - WWYD?

[HipHopBanzai]

Due to go to a family gathering tomorrow. It was due to be held at DSILs house. However one of her adult DSs tested positive just before Christmas. They've been isolating in their bedroom since then. The rest of the family have had negative PCRs and daily negative LFTs.

All the extended family are still planning to meet at DSILs house tomorrow. DN with covid will stay in their room. I'm really uncertain about going. It sounds like a stupid idea to me. DH wants to still go and thinks I'm being ridiculous.

What would you do?

No, definitely not! I thought it was illegal/against the rules to let any into a house with people isolating?

You are not being ridiculous. It's daft.

I wouldn’t go.

I would go.

If your DH wants to go and you don't then I think you have to accept you have different risk levels.

No
I wouldn't go

It's up to you, but I wouldn't go (or have anyone over).

What? I wouldn't go!

I thought it was against the rules (although not sure what they count for now!) too but can't find anything online to back me up.

It just seems like a completely unnecessary risk to take to me.

I thought it was against the rules too.

I certainly wouldn’t be going no matter what the rules are

Of course it is against the rules.

Visitors are only allowed when someone self isolates if they provide essential services.

I've just found the govt guidance online. It quite clearly says that you shouldn't have any visitors while somebody is isolating.

I'm not going to go. My kids don't want to go either - they're desperate not to miss any more school. They've had covid earlier in the year and hated missing school.

It's DH's side of the family, so suspect he'll still want to go.

Stupid, and against the law; "do not have visitors in your home, including friends and family – except for people providing essential care". www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/self-isolation-and-treatment/when-to-self-isolate-and-what-to-do/

Sorry, xposted!

"Visitors to your household
Do not invite or allow social visitors to enter your home, including friends and family. If you want to speak to someone who is not a member of your household, use the phone, email or social media.

If you or a family member receive essential care in your home, carers should continue to visit and follow the provision of home care guidance to reduce the risk of infection.

All non-essential in-house services and repairs should be postponed until the self-isolation period is completed. Delivery drivers should not come into your home, so make sure you ask them to leave items outside for collection."

This is the guidance on the gov website.

If your DH goes I would be suggesting to home he will need to isolate somewhere else for 10 days before returning home. That might crystallise his thinking.

I'm fairly relaxed these days but we wouldn't go to a house where someone was currently covid positive.
I wouldn't go to a house where someone had D&V or similar, anything particularly infectious either.

We are all fully vax with boosters, and I've had covid. But I'm CV and covid put me in hospital. I wouldn't knowingly take the risk personally and I'd expect Dh and Dd not to either.

I’m fairly relaxed too but I wouldn’t go to someone’s house who tested positive nor would I invite a time round . Just don’t go

No way. Not a chance.

No, it's clearly against the law unless the person is isolating in a self contained residence. A bedroom in a house with shared front door, kitchen etc doesn't count.
