eazybee, I don't know for sure how they are travelling, but would guess it will be by car.

Under normal circumstances, distancing has been achievable, but with that many extra people I don't think it will be possible.

“I had heard that there has been plenty of guideline flouting in France, as you might expect“. Why. Ishtar you expect ?
And I understood the student to be from France but the host family British?

2 adults plus 4 adults plus some children!!
How are they travelling to the host's house?
Why are the hosts accepting them?
They must refuse, and if they don't, it really is your duty to report them.

I wish my DD and her baby could move in with me Oopsadaisy as I am very worried for her mental health which is (in my opinion) equally important .

Wrong indeed. Especially as they are taking in people from London, where the rate of infection is so high. They are just spreading it further.

I would love to go and move in with family, but know it cannot be.

It doesn’t surprise me, there are plenty of Posters on GN asking if they should move in with ACs or let GCs move in with them, despite being told it’s wrong, they will still do it, even though somebody told me that it was unlikely that it was happening and that I was wrong to think it.

Damn! Large house, which until recently was just home the couple who own it and a lodger, the student.

It's certainly crazy. I had heard that there has been plenty of guideline flouting in France, as you might expect. There will always be guideline breakers.

Are the student's hosts running a hostel?

Surely this is against all guidance?
Yes it is.

Hello all,

I had an email from one of our mature students who is lodging with a couple locally while on a 1 year course.

Last week her hosts took in 2 family members from London, and have said there will be another 4 adults plus some children arriving this week! shock

Surely this is against all guidance?

There are restrictions in place regarding the amount of items that can be bought when shopping, so putting an additional 6 adults and some children in the house will mean extra shopping trips, increasing the chances of coming into contact with the virus?I

The local police have been stopping drivers in some places and asking the reason for their journey. A couple in a motorhome who had come from Birmingham were told to return there, and not to even think of staying in Devon.

This student has come from France, and told me that there police are stopping people, checking their paper and if they are more than 1k from home, they are given an on the spot fine of €135.
