Covid-19

Hello,

i was wondering if anyone can Give some advice. I am a 22 year old, autistic young adult. I have been self isolating with my household since mother’s day. So have my mam, sister and little Brother (4) and sister (3), both younger children are also on the Autistic Spectrum. 

since we’ve got split households, we have listened to self isolation advice. But now its becoming very stressful and is impacting on my mental health as i see my mam and the little ones EVERY DAY during normal times. We haven't seen each other for so long and it’s impossible to window visit as the kids don't understand why they can’t see us physically or not go into the house. 

there is no risk from either households as we do not go out or mix with anyone else. Can we visit each other’s houses if we're not in contact with other people?

any advice to make things easier for me, the kids and my mam would be helpful. 

thank you

  • You dont want to risk it. I only had a temperature day 1 and it was the herd immunity rubbish. We were allowed out but I thought its probably not the virus but if it is I'd feel awful if I passed it on and someone got very sick. I couldnt live with the guilt personally.

    In a household of 4, one had fever 40 vomited, short breath for a few minutes and a cough for a few days

    1 no symptoms 

    1 had the virus but was able to carry on

    1 very sick no underlying health conditions

    I see your point. But there is literally no risk at all. We haven't been into contact with anyone or out of the house. Neither have they. Its impossible for us to have gotten it.

    That’s not something that the police will consider - the rules apply across the board. It’s also worth remembering that people can be asymptomatic which is essentially where you could have covid-19 but exhibit no symptoms but could pass it on. Sadly there are no exceptions which your circumstances fall into - as such if you did go to them, or then to you - you are in breach of the rules and could be fined or get into trouble with the police.
