DS tested positive - can we travel to Majorca?

[Siezethefish]

DS has tested positive with a PCR - we are in Wales where they still do them. He has symptoms but was testing negative (and still is) with LFTs. He has been double jabbed so meets the entry requirements.

We are due to fly to Majorca on Friday.

To travel to Spain you have to fill in a questionnaire and state that if you have symptoms you will self isolate for a week

The Mirror is saying that the self isolation requirement has been removed

Can anyone advise on whether he can
a) travel
b) must self isolate?

thanks in advance!

I am pretty sure that the passenger locator form has a box you have to tick to say you have had no symptoms of Covid in the last two weeks.

Are you going to lie?

Thank goodness people still have to wear masks on planes. I think I'll definitely wear the FTP2 (?) one next time I fly .

Ir doesn’t have it anymore

If you aren't going, why didn't you put that in your OP?

I think you do plan on going and bloody shame
on you. I'm in Wales, too. It's rife. You are part of the problem.

regardless of the negative LFTs he has a COUGH COLD AND SORE THROAT and you deem it wise to place him onto a bloody plane full of people hoping to go on holiday to relax?

I rarely rarely get fired up to the point where I post, but this thread sickens me. Having worked in education for over 30 years I have seen hundreds of mums like you who stand at the school gate shovelling Calpol down your feverish child's throat because YOU need a day off. No consideration for others.

VILE .

This is why my dh doesn’t want to go abroad this year!

@MossyBottom have airlines now dropped mask rules then? We flew to Spain about 6 weeks back and airline said at that time that everyone still needed to wear them . Maybe it's airline specific ?

It's weird the contrast on this compared to other threads
A lot seems to be - never wearing a mask again, we have to live with it, glad testing has finished, stupid to isolate if you aren't unwell with it, go to the supermarket to get food if you need to and you're positive
And then this one is totally different I mean when testing stops then there will be people on a plane with covid

Disclaimer that I'm not even going in a supermarket at the minute as cases are so high so my opinion is pretty fixed. I don't have to fly, but I do need food/medication so I would rather people were negative and wearing masks in supermarkets but 🤷🏽‍♀️

Follow the RELEVANT rules OP and not the hysterical selfish screams.

Thanks god someone sensible. Some people are going to struggle from Friday on …

Aren't they just

I didn’t even realises you still had to test to go abroad (I’m not flying anywhere so haven’t looked). I assumed that had finished like the other restrictions ( very rarely see people wearing masks in shops etc).

You don’t need for Spain if you’ve got your booster or had your second in autumn

This is the information from the spth form you have to complete prior to travel:

"DO NOT TRAVEL if you have symptoms compatible with COVID-19: fever, cough, shortness of breath, with onset within the last 7 days, or have been diagnosed with COVID-19 within the last 7 days"

Or maybe you would rather take the advice of 'the Mirror' if that fits in better with what you want to do?

Covid isn’t the flu. 1000 people a week in the UK are currently dying & the health system is collapsing because dickheads are going round spreading it and causing mayhem.

You are a dickhead for considering leaving your house with a covid positive child.

Ah no, really? The world will be gutted

Surely there is a high chance anyone on the plane could have COVID as you don’t have to test anymore! Enjoy your holiday, like you said if you had a cold you’d still go! Too many people want to carry this farce on.

1k from covid of with covid ? As it’s not the same

You are REALLY considering taking someone with COVID on an aeroplane????

So selfish. So utterly selfish.

OP i'd be going - to be fair tho i wouldn't have tested so soon to your holiday. We are going abroad at the weekend come what may. No tests if double vax so even if presenting symptoms we are going.

And to pp no way on earth would i cancel a holiday for D&V that's ridiculous!

This, our local trust and the neighbouring one have put out a rare “we’re up shit creek” alert today asking people to come and take relatives home if medically fit for discharge. Said it’s a perfect storm of rising covid patients, staff off with covid and lack of care workers to discharge people with package of care along with general worsening of health with kochi on effect,

@EasterIssland my healthy 40 year old friend died recently. He died from year later complications of covid, he won’t be in any figures of with or of covid. It was of covid if that matters to you and it clearly does. Nice of you to care about those that died after the 28 days. Like most young people are kept alive for longer than that to give them a chance and they don’t count in figures. My friend was one of them.

I doubt the OP is actually going to take her ds on a plane with covid and potentially kill someone for the sake of a holiday. She'd have to be a real selfish piece of shit to do that...

I totally get that people are sick of COVID. Sick of masks. Sick of restrictions.

And I understand that most will want to take full advantage of the rules being lifted.

But the advice is to stay at home if you have COVID. Even the government has been saying the same, and they're pretty keen on getting people back out there.

I can't remember any public health advice that says if you have a cold you should stay at home. And that's because COVID isn't just a cold.

If you only had COVID mildly then great. But thousands didn't. Thousands are dead. And hundreds more are still dying every week. They are among our most vulnerable but still need to go to work, do their shopping, lead a life - just like everyone else.

Please, FFS, just follow public health advice and do the decent thing, even if it's not enforced legally by the RULES.

If you had chickenpox you wouldn't mix while it's contagious, even though your symptoms might be very mild. Do the same for COVID. Even if the law isn't compelling you to, all the medical advice is asking you to stay at home - and I think you should have a very, very good reason to think it's OK to ignore.

Is it any surprise we have a Tory government when people are willingly going to get on a plane knowing they have covid. Honestly, don’t be so selfish!

It looks like that’s exactly what she is.
