Saturday will be 5 days since testing positive so according to the government advice I should be good to go. Perhaps I won't take that second test then....everybody OK with that?
Alternatively I could buy one of the Tesco's tests which fail to absorb the sample and you get no lines at all.....at least I will have tried! |  |

Probably loads of people go without even realising they have it. I've still yet to test positive! However, trying to avoid it as got to have a PCR before flying in a few weeks. |  |

That makes it even more irresponsible to go knowing you do have it though surely? | |

I certainly wouldn't go if I knew I had it, as I would be too paranoid about infecting others who may be vulnerable. However, most vulnerable have had 4 jabs now and it's not going away any time soon, so I can almost understand other people's approach of following Government advice. | |

Fck me, people are being told to go to work if they have covid and feeling ok… so absolutely you should be ok to go out to something you love. |  |

I think thats reasonable. Govt advice is still based on scientific advice as far as Im aware. |  |

Kids can return to school after 3 days, I think the guidance is really confusing and unhelpful. I think by and large if you have no symptoms by day 5 most people would say that you're fine to proceed as normal however I'd be tempted to don a mask (might create some comical tan lines in this weather we're experiencing!) |  | | |

Current governmentadvice is....
"If you have COVID-19, you can pass on the virus to other people for up to 10 days from when your infection starts. Many people will no longer be infectious to others after 5 days.
You should:
try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days avoiding meeting people at higher risk from COVID-19 for 10 days, especially if their immune system means they’re at higher risk of serious illness from COVID-19, even if they’ve had a COVID-19 vaccine"
....so pretty wishy-washy !! "Try." Also the 10 day part likely applies in a football crowd. | |

If you've done the first bit and tried to avoid people for the first 5 days it is quite clear you are able to go - its up to you. Maybe if you still have an active cough then don't.
I'm all for protecting people where possible, but I would suggest anyone at a higher risk and have immune issues shouldn't be at the football. |  | | |

And to add, a massive % of people are no longer testing so presumably loads of people will be walking around with it. Anybody who wants to be vaccinated is vaccinated. Life goes on and ask any sensible vulnerable person who is at the game on Saturday, and they must know that they're taking a very small risk (as we all are) that they'll catch it.
Presumably anybody who disagrees with that is testing multiple times each day. | | | |

Follow government advice.
This can’t be a topic for this message board!
I don’t believe tests are required unless you are in certain industry sectors. Second tests are certainly not required for the regular layperson. [Post edited 12 Aug 2022 10:16]

Pretty sure I got Covid at the Bolton match. Tested negative for the first time this morning; will see how I feel tomorrow before deciding whether to go, and might do another test before, just to make sure. | |

Its a strange one really isn't it.
I would think a lot of people aren't even testing so could have it without knowing.
However, you have tested and it's positive so really I think you should test again and see. However, the guidance is not very good anymore and a bit wishy washy so who are we to tell you what to do. | | | |

I was testing positive for about 8 days after I first tested positive and was ill for the first 5 of those days. Govt advice is nonsense. My advice would be dont go out until you're no longer positive, regardless of what the "advice" is. |  |

They are even though you can be infectious for 5 - 10 days, pretty sure my mum caught it from her work from someone following the same advice
I appreciate Omicron my be less severe than earlier incumbents and as you say, the majority of people are triple or even quadruple jabbed
I do have the slightly odd scenario where I can play Cricket on Saturday, not that I want to currently and still potentially be positive which seems morally questionable [Post edited 12 Aug 2022 10:13]

Oh well, minus 1 for today then  . The test line was almost black it was that positive and although I can accept other people would decide differently, and the illness hasn't been too bad for me, I don't want to risk giving it to someone else unnecessarily.
Away on holiday for Barnsley, so my first game will be Cambridge on Sept. 10th. At least the prospect of a leisurely day in the garden and a naughty firestick softens the blow considerably!

Fair enough...but you can't much like the people that sit/stand near you. I am lucky in that I work outdoors so can continue to earn a little even if I have had to do fewer hours. Other people aren't so lucky. It has also hit Miss Slave harder than it hit me so not something that I would be comfortable with.
2-0 win, Ladapo btw. | |

I imagine that you will do exactly that, you aren’t going to deliberately have close contact with vulnerable people are you? If you do it will be accidental and you can’t be blamed for that. | |

I first tested positive on Tuesday morning so perhaps a full 5 days would not be until tomorrow morning. Not sure how that works. If it was a faint line I might have risked it but this is thick and almost black!! | |

Yes five days would be Sunday. Can’t avoid maths.
I’ve got those nagging, I’ve supported us too long and not seen us win enough important games, doubts about today. Maybe you won’t be disappointed to miss it. | |

Sorry to hear that. There will someone who would have been near you who won't get it now and be totally none the wiser - a sacrifice they probably don't appreciate. | | | |

Have you actually read the tosh that you’ve posted?
A football match where you will be in close contact with other people and you knowingly are contagious with a virus that can be severe for someone who is immuno compromised (and I’m not just talking vulnerable here) and you are saying “ you aren’t going to deliberately have close contact with vulnerable people are you? If you do it will be accidental and you can’t be blamed for that.”
