Ex has Covid but didn’t tell me was having test done

[BobTy]

Hi,

I have my 2 boys every weekend and I picked them up from school as normal on Friday. About 2 hours later I get a text from my ex to say she has Covid, went for a test the day before.

she never isolated the house, still sent kids to school, and still allowed me to collect them from school.

she said she started symptoms last Saturday but didn’t do anything about it and only went for test on Thursday and like I mentioned, didn’t isolate the house.

ive said I will keep the kids until next Sunday (their 14day period) and will book myself a test while isolating.

Im really annoyed with her as my work don’t offer anything in way of pay to cover isolation, only SSP. She is saying that I’m part of their support bubble so regardless I would of had to isolate anyway. Is she right?

And would I be ok to return to work next week if I receive a negative result?

thanks.

You can only return to work if all people in your household test negative,so you and your kids

Hi there

The rulings around Covid19 and when or when not to self isolate can be a bit confusing to understand. Please see our Covid19 page and hopefully this will help you with your situation.

Kind regards, Justine
