Tested positive Friday night
Had symptoms since Wednesday
Feel much better today but still faint positive
I normally see my dad daily

He has had 4 jabs altogether and is fit and healthy and had covid 2 months ago (which knocked him out for over a week)

How long would you wait to see him?

I wouldn’t see him yet if you’re still faint positive.

My dad is 80 and has diabetes. I waited until a week after I tested negative.

Honestly I’d wait a good ten days if you can. A week from symptoms bare minimum.

I had covid a few weeks ago I avoided my parents ( both 80) for a couple of weeks they have had 4 injections too ,but mum in particular is very frail .
