Yes you can get a pcr test posted if you have been exposed to a known positive. We had to recently due to my sons work colleague. I think it's 3 to 5 days after exposure? Probably says on the packet

Yes double vaccinated

It is daft! but Nana, fwiw I was double vaccinated and sat in a car with someone positive with covid for 3 hours (unknowingly) and did not catch it, so fingers crossed. I'd order a pcr test though, we did xx

Are you vaccinated Nana56?

It seems very daft to me JaneJudge and I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't read it myself because gain, it seems very daft confused

It's frustrating. We've been using masks etc. Only collected granddaughter, as he was really stuck. Usually give granddaughter dinner but due to covid took her straight home

JaneJudge Tue 14-Sept-21 20:29:22

Sorry, I hadn't realised this. We are still being very sensible confused

JaneJudge vaccinated and under 18s no longer isolate if there is a positive in the house. Makes me very uncomfy.

Nana56 fingers crossed for you

Apparently he took guidance and was assured it was OK for her to be at school

JaneJudge Tue 14-Sept-21 20:15:59

order a PCR test follow the instructions

She shouldn't have been in school if your son was positive but it's too late now. I hope you are ok and they make a good recovery

There is little input we can give I'm afraid. You will just have to take all necessary precautionary steps and get yourself tested. Fingers crossed for you that you remain clear.

I collected my granddaughter from school today as her dad has covid. I took her straight home, not mire than 10 minute drive. She was in the back . Had planned yo leave car at sons but was pouring with rain.
Anyway just been told she's tested positive. No cough etc.
Worried might get it although contact minimal and for brief time.
Welcome any input
