Trying to understand isolation rules. My daughter's housemate tested positive for Covid on Monday, she has not been out since (daughter or housemate). Daughter has tested negative 3 times since then and has never been positive. She wants to visit us on Sunday but my husband says he shouldnt. I thought she could.
Common sense tells me he should keep testing everyday or at least on the Saturday /Sunday unless the housemate has been completely isolated from her as she might pick it up at any time. But if husnbands uncomfortable the rules don't matter- just rearrange as or it'll spoil things if his unhappy
Why is it bad advice danny? What part?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding though as the o.p. says "She wants to visit us on Sunday but my husband says HE shouldnt. " Assumes they mean SHE not HE?
//Buenchico has the rules but I still stand by mine//
You continually berate me for disagreeing with much of the rules and guidance, Bob. So what's different about this, then? Is it that the guidance is not so stringent as you'd prefer so you disagree with it? If so, I fully support your right to choose. So why don't you support mine when I believe the guidance is too severe?
Cos husband dont want her there so its not going to be much fun.
And if shes still mixing with an infected housemate whys it wrong to get another test on the day (LFT )- if positive she should keep away , if negative again the husband will feel better
Yes should read she not he. I have read NHS details and yes she has had all 3 jabs, booster some weeks ago. So hopefully ok, will monitor the situation and she will test again before then.
Thanks all
Clearly newjudge got hold of the wrong of the stick here. Easily done- we sometimes assume what people are going to post and read what we expect to see not what's there. Am sure I've done the same before now. Shame as we actually agreed on the thread about compulsory covid passports in shops
Oh never fear bobbinwales is an expert on everything covid related, or so he thinks !!! Goodness knows what he'll do when it's all over and he has nothing more to moan about, or nothing more to be sanctimonious about ...
What a lot of foo! She's tested negative so what's the problem?She can visit.
there is something called a false negative - and the poss of being early poz and not testing as such
