Covid Quarantine Rules

[eve1974]

I’m still getting confused nearly 2 years on!

So someone we came into contact with yesterday has tested positive.

They do not live in our household.

Am I correct in thinking we merely do a LFT and that if that’s ok no further test needed!

Don't do any test, just get on with your life.

[New Judge]

You are only legally obliged to self-isolate if you have been contacted by NHS Test & Trace and have not been fully vaccinated.

It isn't always that easy, not here in Deutschland anyway;

Because Mrs K & I will be alone for Christmas, to save a lot of the usual work & trouble, I booked us in for a slap-up Christmas lunch in the restaurant of the Schloss (castle) which towers above our village, https://schloss-weitenburg.de/en/home/ no problem ? well not quite: Mrs K has 3 jabs, I two & am a refusenik having had a stroke brought on by the first 2.

Not Baron von Rassler's fault but because of the insane government rules - which are coming your way soon- I have to show a certificate that I have had a negative test within 24 hours of entering the restaurant. But that means having it done on Christmas Eve when everything is shut !!!

Fortunately I have a friend who owns a chemists & his wife is a trained nurse retired, who has been helping out with the jabs, and they are going to fix me up with a test on the afternoon of Christmas Eve at their own house. The world has gone insane.

It is a crazy old world now. Wonder if this will ever end? What’s after this strain?

[eve1974]

By “never end” I mean the testing etc?

Covid is here to stay - in various strains - just like the common cold

[Khandro]

I now read that there has been a new strain of covid found in Marseille !

[jno]

it hasn't even got a Greek name yet (in spite of Marseille itself having a Greek name).

No need to worry till the Greeks arrive.
