On Saturday we arranged a meal here in our house with 4 local friends. My husband went to pick them up, only 3 or 4 miles away so that they could have a drink and taxi home. They all wore masks in the car.
Three quarters of the way through the evening the wife of one couple, announced that they had both had a Covid test that day because she was experiencing some symptoms. We were all extremely shocked and surprised to say the least.
They went home and then on Tuesday evening she phoned to say that the test was positive. We are so disappointed and also furious that we have been put in this position. We and the other people are all in isolation just hoping we do not get any symptoms.
These people also had a BBQ on the Sunday to which 2 more couples came. They have put 8 people at risk and their extended families. We have 9 days to go in quarantine. These people were really good (so we thought) friends and we feel very let down by them. We have no idea of how things will go forward. So far we have not been contacted by them and we are just thinking about how to handle it.
