Probably stupid question about positive people isolating together

DH and I both now positive. I was first and even though we were both exposed to the person we caught it from I had been isolating in the house just in case we could avoid him getting it.
Anyway now that both positive we assumed that we would stop isolating from each other in house but just interested if anyone still kept up distances?

Is there anything about increasing viral load if in same rooms etc. Or is that just none sense. (DH has other health issues so just interested for his sake.)

Nothing scientific from me but if I was positive and so was DH we wouldn't bother staying away from each other

Me and my DH are both positive. We are not isolating from each other

You can mix, it's fine.

I wouldn't isolate from each other but then I never isolated from dh when he had it and never caught it anyway

They put my elderly neighbour in a covid ward which was open plan, socially distanced. He swears blind he didn't have it, asymptomatic. He was kept awake by all the people coughing.

We didn't isolate from each other when Dp got it and I was still negative. It wasn't do-able in this house. I pretty much isolated at home anyway so wasn't going out then ended up positive anyway. Now you are both covid I'd be acting like normal!

Another stupid question. Does the isolation start from when the symptoms start or when you get the test?

dementedpixie · 09/01/2022 16:58

Starts from symptoms or the test if you didn't have symptoms.
