My apologies - I should've said they're all staying in the same self catering accommodation. The Government's website (updated 15 June) says (and I know this is guidance, not law):
"Meeting friends and family indoors (rule of 6):
It is safer to meet people outdoors. This is because COVID-19 spreads much more easily indoors. However, you can meet up indoors with friends and family you do not live with, either:
- in a group of up to 6 from any number of households (children of all ages count towards the limit of 6)
- in a group of any size from up to two households (each household can include an existing support bubble, if eligible)
If you are meeting friends and family, you can make a personal choice on whether to keep your distance from them, but you should still be cautious. You should read the guidance on meeting friends and family."
And this is from the same site. It refers to areas where there's a high incidence of the Delta variant:
"In the areas listed above, you should also take particular caution when meeting anyone outside your household or support bubble. Wherever possible, you should try to:
- Meet outside rather than inside where possible
- Keep 2 metres apart from people that you do not live with (unless you have formed a support bubble with them), this includes friends and family you don’t live with
- Minimise travel in and out of affected areas"
My friend and I, and some of her family, live in an area where the Delta variant is a concern (>500 cases per 100,000).
maddyone I understand where you're coming from. We've both had both vaccinations. However, I know of 6 people who have had Covid despite having both jabs. Even though there are far fewer hospital admissions, it's still a horrible disease and 2 of the 6 I've mentioned have long Covid.
Thanks everyone. I think I've decided not to see her for at least 2 weeks after she gets home. I think she knows I think she's being irresponsible by travelling so far and meeting up, indoors for a week, with so many people.
