"Why are you letting someone use your tools? " This really. Assume everyone has it. Not just people who are coughing. Isolate as much as you can from the other people in your house OP. Act as though you have it. Hope you are ok. | |||

"Why are you letting someone use your tools? This really. Assume everyone has it. Not just people who are coughing. Isolate as much as you can from the other people in your house OP. Act as though you have it. Hope you are ok. " This is what I do at work and we are Covid safe but I’m wearing my mask all the time, social distancing etc and wiping down all the time, especially the toilet. I think if you are worried OP get a test but if you have no symptoms then you may be refused a test. My Assistant was positive in November on the Sunday after being at work Friday but I was refused a test as had no symptoms but because we had social distanced track and trace did not contact me. However you could go for a test, be negative but catch it while you are awaiting results. At work now our boss has bought some self testing kits for emergency such as a situation like yours. We have to all keep ourselves as safe as we can. | |||

"Worried as live with somone who is clinically vulnerable " It must be difficult to work somewhere with no social distancing and shared tools when you live with a clinically vulnerable person. | |||

"ive found out my work mate has tested positive for covid over weekend. Social distancing doesnt happen at our work and the peraon in question has been using my tools and doesnt wear a mask. Work have said that unless comes on test and trace we should be fine, but thats not going to happen as he doesn't have it!!!!

"Thanks for advice everyone, have felt pretty rough this morning so have had a test and awaiting results. Whole thing is just taking its toll on me. Know its hard for us all following guidlines so missing seeing family and freinds, but find myself everyday surrounded by people not following guidelines at work! And at the end of the day ?? talks. Stay safe for your loved ones" People don’t follow guidelines in supermarkets either and those are the places we are most likely picking it up more. I’ve had people reaching across me, people not wearing a mask, people touching products and not buying them, cashiers not wearing gloves. I think my workplace is safer than Asda and that’s saying something. | |||

Just my attempt at humour everyone's contributions are valid if course but I'd guess his emoluer would listen to the NHS more than swingers (even swingers who work for the NHS) | |||

Worried as live with somone who is clinically vulnerable " If you live with someone vulnerable then you should wear a mask at work regardless of what work you do....sharing tools? Omg....this is why we can't get rid of it....I still can't believe you live with a vulnerable person and show such disregard of masks and no social distancing | |||

It's great that you are now tested and waiting for the results . Hope you get good results " it actually makes no difference if he gets tested since he should be acting as though he has the virus for the full 10 days anyway ... the only benefit of a positive test is that track and trace for his contacts will kick in rather than just his colleagues , a negative until 10 days have past should give absolutely no comfort and not be relied upon as it can be too soon for any infection to show up however yes OP i do hope you don’t get sick | |||

"The app has nothing to do with it, I was under the impression of if you come into contact with someone who has tested positive for Covid then you would need to isolate" The track and trace is more to do with using public transport or a public area like an office or hotel | |||

If they havn't then it won't be working there either What I meant by the app has nothing to do with it was about the advice he had from his boss, you don't have to be notified by Dido and her overpaid consultants to know you are meant to isolate when coming into contact with someone who has tested positive and bosses should know this | |||

"I tested positive And work close to lots at work we are all mask wearers in the main production area some had tests and where negative I'm still recovering but no one at work was made to isolate. " Because local track and trace in work places can over ride national track and trace providing they can evidence mitigating factors such as good use of ppe (including people actually wearing it appropriately), social distancing measures etc. The only thing if can't over rude is if you get pinged on thd track and trace app. Where I work a lot of people had to self Isolate because their phones were left on in their lockers and someone recorded their positive test on the app. They hadn't spent anytime with that person but because their phones had been sat next to each other for a period of time they had to have 10 days off. | |||

You can try but the app tracks your whereabouts and you get calls and texts if it sees you wandering about during your isolation period. I know someone who had it happen. Too many of those and I'd imagine you'd get a knock from the fuzz. | |||

In one postcode in Worcester they're encouraging everyone to get a test as the SA varient has been found there.

OP google the “close contact” rules- it used to be 15 minutes at less than 2 metres at one point. I think now it includes 15 minutes split up during the day. But I’m not 100%. And testing is definitely post code lottery. x | |||

"I was in a similar situation, girl at work tested positive I work in an office. Apparently as I had a mask on I didn’t need to self isolate Luckily I didn’t catch anything, I have to lateral flow test twice a week as work for NHS. However I did boot my mum out of my bubble and since this incident I have no bubble I still don’t understand the logic of it all. I feel it’s best to treat everyone as though they are a leaper! " Same as us. All covid secure distance wise so shouldn’t be triggered by test and trace even if someone’s positive! Definitely treat everyone like that have it xx | |||
