Hey everyone,
My ex today was one of the people to be sent a letter to self isolate for 12 weeks owing to her previous issues with blood clots. We have shared care of our 4 year old boy and he lives with her predominantly whilst staying with me every Tuesday-Wednesday and every other weekend. As she now has to self isolate, this may now mean I won't be able to see my son for 12 weeks.. is anyone in a similar position / have any advice?
Thank you |  | | |  |

Its potentially a very sticky issue, which will have lots of people affected and about which there is currently no explicit guidance. |  |

Thought the NHS letter applied to the recipient not every member of the household. |  |

There is now. "Stay at home". People shouldn't be mixing households,as tough as that may be on some. Better that than risk spreading the virus to loved ones.
Newcy gets it:
My daily exercise by NewcyBlue 23 Mar 2020 21:07Will be a bike ride over to Seb’s mums house. Knock on the door and keep well away and talk to him.

Not sure I’d be alive at the end of it if I tried to bike from ipswich to London every day... think it’s going to be a case of FaceTime to see my son. |  |

Is that the case? My kids have been going between mine and their mums house, but have not gone anywhere else nor seen anyone else. Their mum and I have both been working from home for more than a week, and isolated from anyone else. Is this pattern of behaviour no longer allowed? |  |

The edict seems pretty clear- adn well done to Newcy. Though I fear there will be some really big problems in some households. [Post edited 23 Mar 2020 22:32]

This has apparently been addressed in an interview with Gove this morning. I don't think they're giving consistent advice by the sounds of it.
If it was me, I'd want to limit contact. If it's possible for the child(ren) to remain with one parent, that's probably safer for all. Hard to bear for many people I'm sure, but the priority has to be limiting opportunities to spread the disease. My sis-in-law is in this position and they've stopped physical contact as she's in the vulnerable category. It's not been easy for them but they can't take the risk. | |

But if both houses are isolated and the only contact they have had is between the two houses and nobody else it's hard to see how this is different to people all living in one household. The containment group is the same.
It's also hard to see how the chance of the disease spreading during transfer is higher than people doing their exercise once a day or going to the shops and interacting with the staff there who have seen loads of people that day.
It's obviously a complicated situation though.
