"My work mate has informed us his father has tested positive for the virus as of last Friday 31/07. He has not been in contact with his father for a full week on or around 25/07 and they were out doors. None of us are showing symptoms. Do I need to Isolate? " I’d visit the NHS websites: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/testing-and-tracing/nhs-test-and-trace-if-youve-been-in-contact-with-a-person-who-has-coronavirus/ https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/testing-and-tracing/get-a-test-to-check-if-you-have-coronavirus/ Having said that, based on the first link, you should continue to go about your life unless you present symptoms. Ringing 111 to confirm might give you some peace of mind. | |||

Give 111 a call, it’s what it’s there for. | |||

"If you do call them they will probably shut you down just to be safe even if you feel 100% ok It’s a flawed system because you will have to stay off work and as your not sick you will not get paid " If you are told to isolate you can claim sick pay.... | |||

No he didn't, he said they worked for the same company, there can be thousands of people working for the same company that never go anywhere near each other. I stand by my opinion that people shouldn't just be going for a test because of 'curiosity', if you have a genuine fear that you may have covid, contact 111 or your GP and follow professional advice. | |||

And seens as they say a number of people with the virus are asymptomatic then why should someone only request a test if they have symptoms? | |||

These hospitals and test centres being manned and empty is a cost I feel is wasted, testing is something that should be done. It should be free and it should be more available than it is now. You want the NHS to work towards helping the containment of covid then accept there's going to be a cost. Just 1 or 2 positives a day could make a difference and the vast majority of people never show any symptoms. Test any and every one that wants one or is advised to get one "This^^^

We haven’t tested enough people in this country. I live in greater Manchester and around my area we are being encouraged to test with or without symptoms. That way if you have it you can isolate and help stop the spread as quite a few people are symptomless. | |||

"My work mate has informed us his father has tested positive for the virus as of last Friday 31/07. He has not been in contact with his father for a full week on or around 25/07 and they were out doors. None of us are showing symptoms. Do I need to Isolate? You should book in and get swabbed, until you get results, isolate . I can’t get tested. I’m not showing symptoms." You can get tested,you need to go on the government book a test website and answer the questions,you can either order a home test or book an on site test, it will take no time at all and is easy to do | |||

"Maybe better to call your GP and ask, rather than a swinging site ! In my humble opinion Hi thanks for reply. I contacted my doctor at 9am this morning and was told if I am not showing symptoms I will not be tested. Nonsense, you can get a test within hours - symptoms or no symptoms Tests are supposed to be for people showing symptoms or those advised to be tested by a medical professional, not just for people to take whenever they want. You're wrong, I got one yesterday with no systems, just got the all clear about 15 minutes ago Why did you get the test? Curiosity Ah right, so wasting NHS resources is fine? What? 12 people tested positive last week where I work so don't lecture me It's worrying when you hear of people close by being positive, you'll be glad your mind was eased by getting the test I imagine. Absolutely,it's rife here in Manchester apparently, piece of mind Well I'm glad you got a negative result and I believe you did the right thing there's nothing wrong in being curious about your own health especially if it's prevalent around you, as has been mentioned, many carriers are asymptomatic and are potentially infecting others without knowing it.
Apparently I wasted nhs time and money
In my opinion your excuse of curiosity isn't good enough. I stand by that.
It's unfortunate that some people can't have a debate without resorting to insults.
So me being curious whether I had a killer virus is not good enough reason for a test? "I don't think curiosity is a good enough reason, no. You didn't suspect you had it, you just decided to have a test. Honestly, it doesn't really matter what I think now, you did it, I don't agree, that's the long and the short of it. | |||

"Totally agree with this! I said the same in this post yesterday (although not so well articulated) and received a 24hr ban ! Although it was more likely the fact I pointed out why ask a site where 95% of couple profiles are fake that may have been too true for site comfort! Lets wait for a further ban and see! | |||

"You don't need to ask for a test. So why would you say you were refused? That's the confusing part. I booked one on Saturday lunchtime. Tested at 7.30pm Saturday night. Result by early afternoon Sunday. Loads of spare capacity. Get tested it just makes sense! "Hi I was told by the docs I was not to get a test. I took that as a refusal. I was not aware I could book a test online. The docs simply never told me that I could book a test on line. I Am now aware I Can book online without a referral from my doctor. So my post had worked. | |||
