Would you go on an English beach holiday when 2/4 of the family have covid?

If you would avoid indoors and go early morning to the beach?

Treat it like any other illness. Are the kids too ill to travel? If so then don’t go. If they feel fine then go.
If they are coughing and spluttering keep them away from people and do outdoors stuff.

You probably had Delta then omicron so most likely have good protection for a while now.

I’d go. On the basis most people aren’t testing now so thousands of asymptomatic people wandering around or people who think they have a cold.

No I wouldn’t. A beach holiday in the UK right now sounds grim anyway.

@BattledoreAndShuttlecock

Just seen your update. If you had it four weeks ago so highly unlikely to catch it then yes I'd go.

There is a new variable so this is not necessarily true.

It’s a 2 hours drive and we don’t need to stop, I’ve also not got covid so could do the shopping.[/quote]
You’ve not got Covid - YET. This new variant is horrible- I’m 3 weeks in

I’d stay home and get over it in comfort

Make sure that the hosts are aware.

Omicron BA.1 grants strong though not complete protection against BA.2. And BA.2 was the majority strain in the UK 4 weeks ago anyway, so the odds are that that's what the OP had.

@FrownedUpon

Why? It’s meant to be sunny all weekend!

I wouldn’t and I suspect that the Airbnb owner wouldn’t want you staying there either, they’d have to do extra disinfecting of everything.

I wouldn't. We stayed in a holiday house last weekend and there was an entire folder dedicated to procedures if someone came down with Covid while they were there e.g. bagging up bedding and towels, leaving windows open etc.

It’s mainly airborne. It degrades on surfaces very quickly.

@Delatron

I actually swabbed my sons sneeze as some of it landed on my arm and it tested positive!!!!!!!!

Yes I guess fresh snot straight out of someone’s nose will be a risk. But it does not last on surfaces for hours. And most people I guess will be just touching surfaces rather than sneezing all over them.

Opening windows is probably more important.

I'd go if you are feeling well enough to enjoy the holiday. Treat it like any other illness.

Weather forecast is really nice for the next few days so not sure why it would be grim.

Go OP. You're not in a hotel or B&B with other people. Just be careful about not taking people with lurgy into confined spaces.

No. You'll be going into shops/cafes/bars etc and spreading it around.

No, I would not, much as I would be disappointed.

I think on balance I would provided the 2/4 we're feeling ok. Many wouldn't and won't like that answer.

Yes I would. As PP said Mumsnet is generally on the very cautious side when it comes to covid so any query here is likely to have lots of ‘No absolutely not’ responses.

We spoke to the air bnb hosts and they are happy for us to go, so we’ve lost today but will go tomo
Morning for 3 days.

We won’t go in cafes/restaurants but hoping to make the most of the sunshine and be on the beach!

I’m also negative so can pop into shops/cafes to grab stuff

Enjoy :)

Weather looks great for next week. Enjoy!
