When do you stop isolating from your family?

[challengerequired]

If you did in the first place? 5 days? Negative test?
I'm fed up

As in the people you live with? We didn’t isolate at all. Dh didn’t catch it from me.

If you’re fed up and there’s no particular reason to do it (vulnerable family member etc), I would just stop,

I didn't as kids were too young. If I hadn't already got symptoms when DH tested positive might have slept in separate beds but figured it was inevitable at the point.

We have never isolated from family that I live with.

Me DH and 16 month old DD.

First time round we all caught it.
Second time round DD and DH had it, I didn't.

I wouldn't bother isolating from immediate family that I live with as long as they're not CEV.

Half my family got it .. none of us even thought to isolate - totally weird!

My DS (6) got it first and there's no way we could isolate from him as he needed us as was very poorly. So we accepted that we could all get it and carried on as normal. We did but we were all in it together.

My DH and DD just had it and didn’t isolate from me at all ( they did from the world though ) and 10 days later they’re clear and I haven’t caught it.

Do you mean family you don’t live with?

After a negative test, in that case.

I'm isolating from my family because my kids don't want to catch it and miss out on birthday parties / going out to play and my DH is wanting to go to a party this weekend and doesn't want to miss out.

No isolation within my family home. Two had it at Christmas I didn't.
I had it February no one else caught it
I'd personally not share a bed with someone with Covid though

The people in your house? Didn't at all. What is the point - you breathe the same air and touch the same surfaces anyway. We just did extra handwashing and cleaning, and avoided snuggles and kisses (it was the kids who had it this time).

We don't have a big enough house to isolate, there's no spare room.

We don't isolate from each other in our household.

Is anyone in your household particularly vulnerable?

My dh isolated as I didn't want to get it again and have more unpaid time off work
As it happens too late and I have it
I am staying away from
Both ds as one can't afford to be off wprk ill and others its his easter hols he doesn't want to be sat home sick
Plus they are both leaving the house

We did no isolating when Ds 12 got it the second time , as heard you can have it 3days before symptoms show anyway . Covid will be everywhere now so just seems pointless none of us caught it ..presumably it was omicron. We’ve all had delta .

We didn't at all, i didn't catch it off dp

If one of us gets it we won't be isolating from each other. I'm not sleeping on the sofa for anything!

2 out of 4 of us had it in our house. Didn't isolate at all.
My friend isolated for a full week on the third floor of her house, didn't see her partner downstairs for all that time. He stayed at home for the duration and left her meals outside her room. He caught it 5 days later. 🤷‍♀️

None of my immediate family are clinically vulnerable so I didn’t isolate at all though I tried to avoid giving kisses! DH did spend one night in the spare room but then decided the mattress was too crap. No-one in my household caught it from me.

We didn't isolate from each other - we all caught it. I know someone who made their dc stay in a caravan on their drive - she caught it anyway, from somewhere else a few weeks later - so she put her kid through that for nothing.

We didn't isolate at all. I caught it from DS, DH didn't catch it from either of us.

Gave up as soon as DH tested positive too, someone had to care for the kids. hadn’t been properly isolating anyway, just windows left open and distancing and DH slept on the sofa

We didn't isolate in the first place.All in the house together, two of us had it, the other two never got it.

Our house is too small to isolate so just kept the windows open.

We recently isolated one child from the rest of us - it didn’t spread - so it was worth it.

He has his own room though.
