My daughter has just messaged me to say she's ill with a cold, headache and exhaustion. Her husband ( works in the NHS ) due to go back to work tomorrow. She has two children age 3 and 2 months. Am I allowed to go and help her.
I am 66 with no underlying health conditions ( neither does my husband) ?
Would appreciate your views

What a heart rending situation to be in. I feel so much for you Tedd and I’m unsure what to advise. It would be preferable if your daughter’s husband could stay at home with her, and given that your daughter may be suffering from Coronavirus, her husband should be isolating for a further 14 days anyway. Maybe that’s the best solution.

As health care worker her husband must inform his line manager, stay at home if he OR any member of the family including children, at home, develops symptoms of Covid-19. If he doesn't show any symptoms by day 8 of isolation he can inform his line manager and discuss return to work.
