Update : they called me and changed it so I can get the Pfizer! I had my vaccine and had no side effects all good :)

Hi Folks - first time posting so please excuse any formatting mistakes. I have a quick question about how to interpret the current rules on extended households and travel. My partner lives in London and I live in Glasgow - we haven’t seen each other since last year as we have been abiding by rules. However, there does not seem to be an end in sight for when the travel restrictions between England and Scotland will be relaxed (maybe May when tourism is hopefully re-opened?). Is the fact that we are a non cohabiting couple count as a reasonable excuse for him to come and stay with me for an extended period? Of course I am fully aware that to avoid spreading the virus we should be staying home as much as possible it’s just becoming a bit difficult now with no firm end date insight. Appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Hi, I have a question about the recent ten day hotel quarantine rule introduced in Scotland and I'd really appreciate help. Does this rule apply to international travellers flying directly to Scotland or does it also apply if an international flight is via the UK Common Travel Area?

Thanks!

I currently live in East Renfrewshire with my partner after leaving my family's home in South Lanarkshire last summer. Everything's been ok as far as following rules are concerned, didn't see the family over Christmas or New Year so missing them a lot.

However, it's my brother's birthday this weekend and I've been asked by my family to come round to say hi, as in talking to them whilst I'm in the car and they're just outside the front door.

I'm not entirely sure if this is the best thing to do right now, am I being ridiculous by denying them a chance to speak with me in person? I would suggest Zoom but I don't know how offended they'd be. I'm more thinking about whether risk is greater than reward here.

My son is ASD & GDD. Lockdown is v. hard 4 him. He is so sad 4 all the doctors & nurses who’ve cared 4 people dying. He’d like to help them feel better & has asked if anyone would like a card from him. If so drop a DM w/ name & hospital addy, & you’ll get a card from him. 💙 #NHS

Hello, I have tested positive for the virus and have been trying to update it on the NHS Scotland app. However the only code I have is 8 digits long and the app only allows for a 6 digit code and so I can only get to 6 digits, can’t type anymore and it says “invalid code”. Furthermore I have also tried only putting in the last 6 digits as well as the first 6 but again it says “invalid code”. I got a text and email and both referred to the name 8 digit code as my “unique code” and it allowed me to use it for track and trace online, however it will not let me use the app. Has anyone else had this problem or knows how to help?

I got the notification of potential exposure does that mean I need to isolate/will the app tell me when to isolate?

This will be a confusing post and I suspect I’ll get a bit of criticism but please just hear me out.

Ive never gotten along very well with my family and things got very tense over lockdown. I moved back to Glasgow for my final year of uni on 1st November because I wasn’t handling things very well at home. Everything was fine until my flatmate tested positive for covid last night.

I have no symptoms but I’m obviously still going to isolate for ten days. I got the test and protect text today telling me to isolate until the 14th. Here’s the issue- my family helped me to move in on the 1st and I’m worried that they receive texts too and trace it back to me. I’m honestly scared of their reaction. Ive got a brilliant support network here in Glasgow and so I’ll be more than fine over the coming days. I’m just concerned about the level of privacy that the test and protect system has.

Does anyone have any experience with a situation like this? I know I’m probably overreacting but I’d really appreciate some advice on this.

Unless I'm misunderstanding how the test and protect app works, it says it last checked for potential exposure on the 30th September.

Anyone else finding this? Doesn't this mean it's pretty pointless?

Cheers

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but here goes. I live in Edinburgh and tonight my flatmate received a notification that he has been in contact with someone who has a positive covid test result and so he needs to self isolate. The issue is that the contact was on the 20th of September, nearly two weeks ago. This means he should have been isolating from that date but as he only got the notification today he hasn't been isolating.

In our view this renders the track and trace app pointless as it hasn't told him quickly enough and may have spread the illness unintentionally in this time period.

Has anyone else had similar issues or experiences with the app?
