Do I need to isolate?

[Al26]

NHS website actually says vulnerable people without symptoms should not socialise and should work from home "where possible" and if not possible wash hands when getting to work or essential appointments.
I think that's why it's so confusing ... I assume it's same for pregnant women in third trimester but not sure.

I’ve had a really tight burning sensation in my chest since about 2am, no temperature and no cough. I was putting it down to anxiety but as the day goes on my throat feels slightly swollen, no really sore as such. Don’t want to call 111 as I’m fine other than that.

I have a few conditions (Not heart or lung related. I have POTS which is kind of heart related. Orthostatic intolerance) and they cause me extreme fatigue daily. My husband is asthmatic. We’re early 40s. Our eldest has mild asthma. Hubby is now working from home but eldest is still in work and kids in high school. Today I pulled the kids out of school, so now it’s just our eldest in work in an office. I can’t risk getting ill because my body is so fatigued daily without fighting a virus aswell.

We have no support if we get ill as we don’t live near family. We’re lucky our children are older. We’re deciding to self isolate now, if only our eldest could work from home, hubby ha s decided to ring their boss today to just make them aware of thr health issues we have at home and ask what can possibly be done, as she’s worried she will lose her job if she has to isolate. She hasn’t been there that long. Worrying times.

BBC health news latest
Any cough - Isolate
Raised Temperature - Isolate
Either of these symptoms on their own or together equals isolation for 14 days of the individual and all those who share a house with that person, there's no variables on these two symptoms now (dry cough, chesty cough, tickly cough if it's there persistently you have a cough and need to isolate.)

Couldn’t of found this thread at a better time! I’m panicking!
if someone has mild asthma... haven’t had an attack for years should they be at school/work?
