A Covid one

[FrankenWeen]

DSD 12 has Covid. She tested positive at her mother's house and has stayed there since, she's on day 5 isolation. DSD's mother tested positive the day after DSD.

DSD's Mum is asking for us to have DSD here as she is too tired to care for her. DSD has been face-timing DH and other than a cough and sore throat is okay in herself.

We have young DC here who so far are negative. We have to go to work and they nursery, we can't afford for us now to all come down with Covid and them be unable to go to nursery / me unable to go to work (DSD's Mum doesn't work at the moment).

According to DSD Mum she is just too tired. What do we do? DSD is not hard work to look after, she can do a lot of things for herself and fortunately is not that unwell with Covid so far. I've suggested to DH that we send some money for takeouts and things to save DSD or her Mum from cooking and things like that but that she shouldn't come here if it can be helped as our DC are so little and want to keep them well.

i agree with you on all counts. It is also possible to confirm with your pediatrician or family physician exactly what is medically recommended in your particular circumstances. Certainly, there are probably some work- arounds that could be put in place if necessary[/quote]
I am guessing you are nonUK based? This is not what GPs would do here and they are probably going to be busy doing our emergancy covid jab drive.

You are correct. I am not from UK . My kids' dad is a physician and according to him, his patients often call him or the state health department with COVID questions.

There are CDC recommendations in place here and mandates and recommendations by the various city and state government offices many if which vary by locale.

If you have specific laws in place, that would seem to answer the question as to movement and isolation. Generally we speak to a physician to get clarity on the actual/estimated time of likely spread.

In the States, many jurisdiction did not prohibit movement between a child's 2 homes. For us, speaking to a " medically or scientifically informed person, " allowed for information based upon science and your particular circumstances to inform the answers relevant to your personal situation.

@Tattler2 that sounds a good way to do it
