Little Miss Happy Dec 2021 1:37pm, 9 Dec 2021 5,354 posts	Quote Pin Little Miss Happy My neighbour was told to self isolate when her husband and one son tested positive CStar even though she's double jabbed. Today (six or seven days later) she has tested positive. You don't have to have any faith in the government to follow guidance designed to limit the spread of the disease.
sallykate Dec 2021 1:40pm, 9 Dec 2021 8,569 posts	Quote Pin sallykate When I got pinged it told me the date of the close contact and instructed me to isolate for ten days from that date. (It turned out to be my upstairs neighbour, with whom I have no contact at all, so I ignored it. I should have turned off the app while at home.)
Dave.O Dec 2021 3:34pm, 9 Dec 2021 26,980 posts	Quote Pin Dave.O A young lady I use to work with was constantly getting pinged for some reason and she was like a hermit and went nowhere. In the end, she turned the app off.

Little Miss Happy Dec 2021 5:06pm, 9 Dec 2021 5,355 posts	Quote Pin Little Miss Happy If you haven't had the app CStar and the emails/texts were genuinely from test and trace then you are legally required to self isolate: gov.uk

Merry Lip Gloss Dec 2021 6:15pm, 9 Dec 2021 57,210 posts	Quote Pin Merry Lip Gloss Being double and tripled jabbed doesn’t make anyone exempt. It hopefully just helps that if you do get it you won’t be as ill and hopefully not hospitalised. OH took a funny turn while sitting his 15 minutes so had to get someone to drive his car home and they told him to get his BP checked again by his surgery. He said they were all very swift in getting him some aid.

JenHB Dec 2021 6:20pm, 9 Dec 2021 280 posts	Quote Pin JenHB Covid Pass - I filled in the online form to get a PDF covid pass and it expires in 2 days! I thought that it had 30 days (I am now triple jabbed). Anyone else had this?
