Thank you for replies. Wellbeck no need to be sarcastic. I am not stupid I only asked a question. Should have known better than ask especially on the Coronavirus forum. As I have noticed on some of the threads people aren't always nice to eachother. Manners don't cost anything.

Yes you can.
Our daughter caught it in September after teaching a class of reception children. PPE wasn’t allowed in class, only when moving about the school. She hadn’t been anywhere else. Shopping had been delivered during August. They went nowhere. Just stayed home with her own little family. She then passed it onto her husband and the four of them were in quarantine. 2 poorly adults playing tag minding 2 jumping beans. It was an awful time.

Yes friends who never go out caught it from symptomless grandchildren.

surely you must know by now that anyone can catch it from anyone.

Yes you can. Children frequently show no symptoms but they can pass it on to others.

I think age is irrelevant when it comes to covid.

Hope you're OK whiff.

My grandson was in contact with another child at nursery on Wednesday . Today my daughter was informed the child has tested positive with Covid. I looked after my grandson for 4 hours today . Not worried but just wondered.
