Am I allowed to visit my family on Easter Sunday?

[LidiaM]

hi guys,

I live 30 mins drive from my parents who are in their mid 40s, they also live with my younger brother. We are normally very close and we havents seen eachother in about a month (since law have suggested that we should stay at home)

We stay at home, my husband goes shopping once every 2 weeks, my baby who is 8 months old havent been out for the last month.

We understand the risk of going out and we even stopped walking together or exercising...
I am wondering if in UK we are allowed to visit my family on Easter Sunday?
I am asking because I know they are safe,
we arent sick either.

I am very annoyed because I have friends who visit their families or siblings who they not live with all the fricking time and I am sticking to this quarantine but a little bit fed up now knowing that peope still visit their families and I havent,

I really want tl go to see them on Sunday, what you guys think?

You’ve answered your own question !!! We haven’t seen eachother in about a month (since law have suggested that we should stay at home)

We stay at home, my husband goes shopping once every 2 weeks, my baby who is 8 months old havent been out for the last month.

There you go, you know the rules , you know what the law suggests . Don’t be so selfish you’re still risking lives by going out.

Afraid not.

No.

I also think its important that we realise others have these ideas/beliefs so I am glad the OP asked - maybe we can see that people genuinely do these things thinking they are entirely blameless. Not saying its right, ignorance is no excuse, but if ignorance is the reason then lets get that out there - the police are frustrated that HM Gov hasn't made this clearer.

okay guys, I thought that maybe they were saying that we can ...
thank you 🌹🌹
I will stick to the garden x

Op gets it. She's not going. No need to bash her more ffs.

I keep hearing messages on the radio and tv telling people not to go out this weekend despite it being tempting over Easter. How are people missing this?

Take your baby out for a walk OP with your DH, maintain social distancing. That’s still ok.

No

I'm wondering WHY doesn't the Govt announce a tightening of the Rules BEFORE the Easter Bank Holiday weekend, as some people are clearly wondering if things like this are okay? I guess:

1. Some people will break the rules and it will be splashed all over the redtops and social media and then the Govt will have 'justification'
2. Maybe they have allowed 3 weeks of not very strict (compared to China) lockdown to keep the 'herd immunity' thing going on the quiet?

Sorry OP I didn’t see your update . Thanks for staying home

Glad you've decided against it because the virus won't say oh go on, it's Easter, I'll not infect anyone till Tuesday.

this is for sure a wind up, can tell by the way OP is writing

FFS. No

That’s a big fat no from me.

My Birthday is on Easter Sunday and I'm still not going anywhere, nor will anyone be coming to see me. I don't mind one jot and not sure you should either.

My DSis is very frustrated with her ex in-laws who just haven’t got it re visiting relatives, they are now in a situation where one of the elderly members of the family has Covid and is in hospital in ICU. No one can visit, the partner of the ill relative can’t look after himself and probably has Covid too (has cancer and over 90) and they are all NOW panicking.

DSis who is HCP, and probably will become frontline, tried to give them sensible advice initially but they ridiculed her.

Please, please, please don’t get sloppy with social distancing now.

This.

Put it this way. You spend this Easter with them and they could potentially be gone forever. Forego this Easter and you'll have many more Easters to spend with them. It's not rocket science.

I would like to know who 'they' are. The ones who said it was ok.

I really wish that a stricter lockdown happens tomorrow. I am sure that I read somewhere that there is a cobra meeting today.

The police may well stop you and turn you back . This has happened to someone I know trying to leave London.

Why did you think the rules had changed OP?

No I don't think it is a good idea.

Shahira happy birthday for Sunday, it’s my birthday too. I share mine with a couple of members of my family so we are postponing celebrations until after lockdown.
I haven’t been able to buy any flour to make a cake so treated my self to a cake from Tescos and an Easter egg.
We have champagne and hopefully sunshine.
I have also decided that since we are in lockdown it doesn’t count so won’t be adding a year to my age this year.

For the millionth time, we can't have herd immunity without immunisation! We've even lost herd immunity for measles even though most people are immunised.

okay guys, I thought that maybe they were saying that we can ...

This is a blatant piss take.

Unless I had a page missing in my letter from BJ.

"We're still considering Easter Sunday. BRB"

We understand the risk of going out and we even stopped walking together or exercising...

Utterly bonkers.... you've stopped exercising for safety reasons, but want to go visiting family?

Get out and do some (appropriately socially distanced) exercise. But don't visit your family.
