That's hopeful Shades. "The cause of long COVID is not yet clear; however, a widely recognised theory is that the virus persists within specific cells of the infected person, causing an associated inflammatory response, and a wide range of prolonged symptoms." Didn't know that. Hope antivirals can be shown to help those with long covid for a genuine chance of recovery and improvement.  G

I don't have long Covid but the news snippet mentions that when a sufferer exercises it seems to set off symptoms. Exeter does a lot of sports specific research. I used to do a circuits class with someone that worked there and we used to discuss what research they were doing and the results, was very interesting. |

So I was vaccinated couple weeks ago Last Sunday/Monday I felt very rough/usual symptoms but neg test on monday. Assumed just a cold. Did test again Thursday as step daughter coming to stay, also negative. Today, husband has tested positive. I’m still negative. We are supposed to be going on holiday monday 😠lots paid for and I’ve been looking forward to it for months (I rarely get a solid week off work. Twice a year at most) Not sure at this point whether I’ve had it, but not enough to be positive. Or whether I’ve had something else and now have a good chance of Covid next week. Ffs the timing. I mean whatever happens, he can’t go, but I guess we all can’t go 😠|

Gymfreak Oh no, that's such bad timing. Check your travel insurance, you may be covered. |

I did not believe there are any rules to prevent travelling. It’s just a case of personal choice and how you feel. Many people travel regardless or indeed don’t even test I haven’t been in that position but it would be a real dilemma. I hope you come to a decision that you are comfortable with. |

But he can go. There are no rules on travel and isolation anymore, very few are still testing and treat it as if it were a cold, which I’m sure that the insurance company will at this point. Wear a mask to travel if it makes you more comfortable around others. Hope neither of you get many unpleasant symptoms and can enjoy your break.

Agree with Bazo and Nr - for instance my son was told to go in to work (customer facing retail role) after testing pos for Covid because "it's just a type of cold". Try not to cough too hard on anyone! Obv others might evaluate risk of passing on to others differently eg I wouldn't visit my 87 Yr old clinically vulnerable mum with it but hols I think is your call. Good luck and enjoy if you do go.

Dare I say it I flew home from Milan in June after feeling really rough for a couple of days and tested positive the morning after getting home. I've heard stories too of employers insisting workers with Covid go into work

I was about to say the HNH guidelines are no need to test anymore and if you are feeling well you carry on as normal and that includes going to work. If the symptoms are bad and would have prevented you from going to work then stay at home , otherwise just take precautions and like the others have said wear a mask when travelling
