What to do about DD (isolating)

[TheExtraGuineaPig]

Currently me, DH and DS11 are all positive for Covid. My symptoms aren't great but reasonably mild and DS doesn't have any symptoms at all.

We have a daughter too, she's 14 and so far negative. Has been quite easy to avoid her the last 3 days with school and after school activities but wondering how strict we need to be, or if we accept she skits going to be exposed.

I feel bad because the majority of us have it we can sit together and she's the one who has to go in a different room, eat separately etc.

Any tips! Wwyd?

I'd expose her so that she can catch it and build up immunity. At her age her symptoms should be mild. Is she otherwise healthy?

Yes she's healthy and vaccinated. She really doesn't want to catch it and miss a week of school (school policy is to follow the government guidelines and stay off). She's very conscientious and worried about any extra catch up work.

I'll have a chat with her this morning and let her decide I think.

It's an airborne virus, so in my opinion if you are in the same house there is very little you can do to avoid exposure. She may not get it anyway. We continued on as normal here and we didn't all get it. I didn't like the idea of limiting contact as that seemed hard for other reasons. It's your choice as a family ultimately, you choose what feels right for you.

You say she's vaccinated? Then I'd definitely not worry about exposure.

At that age I'd let her choose whether she wants to isolate from you.
