I don't know anyone who wears a mask outdoors. I'd expect them to just increase their PPE Baz but if care visits are fifteen minutes maximum I'd doubt your MiL was face to face less than 1m from the carer for that long so hopefully nothing to worry about.

Bazoaxe Aug 2021 12:23pm, 1 Aug 2021 20,565 posts	0 Bazoaxe I think they will continue. Not sure what would happen if she tests positive though.

Bazoaxe Aug 2021 1:31pm, 1 Aug 2021 20,566 posts	0 Bazoaxe Yes it seems they are. What’s more worrying is the carer tested positive on Friday but due to regulations they were not allowed to tell us until today. There has been minimal contact in that period which is lucky. She was in bed asleep when my wife and the cleaner were in yesterday. but we could have had her out at a cafe yesterday.

Mr. Grumpy Aug 2021 7:43pm, 1 Aug 2021 17 posts	0 Mr. Grumpy I tested positive on a LFT ten days ago, and have spent most of the time since laid up with a fever and banging headache. I managed to get through my first day yesterday without any Paracetamol for pain relief/temperature control. The only place that I can think of that I caught it is the supermarket, as I haven’t been into any other indoor environments at all. What I find really strange though is that Mrs. G and the kids are fine even though we’ve all been cooped up together in the house for the last ten days together.
Little Nemo Aug 2021 7:48pm, 1 Aug 2021 12,416 posts	0 Little Nemo I share a flat with my brother. He was picked to do the daily test scheme and all his tests have come back negative so far. It's useful as it means he's allowed out so he can top up the stuff we've run out of. I'm down to my last apple!
