dated 23 June 2021

If you live in the same household as someone with COVID-19

Stay at home and self-isolate. Do not go to work, school, or public areas and do not use public transport or taxis.

Your isolation period includes the day the first person in your household’s symptoms started (or the day their test was taken if they did not have symptoms) and the next 10 full days. This means that if, for example, your 10 day isolation period starts on the 15th of the month, your isolation period ends at 23:59 hrs on the 25th and you can return to your normal routine.

That's if someone has covid.  He doesn't have covid.  He may not get it or he could be incubating.  At the moment no one knows.

It is a legal requirement to self-isolate if you test positive for COVID-19 or if you are identified as a contact and told to self-isolate by Test and Trace. Failure to self-isolate for the full time-period can result in a fine, starting from £1,000

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/nhs-test-and-trace-how-it-works

Only your son who is the contact needs to self isolate unless he tests positive before you and your other son leave on holiday.

That is a hazard of booking a holiday during a pandemic.

The question was about something different - please read.  We're aware of the rules including the government's encouragement to use businesses, etc.  What you seem to be missing is the incubation period for the rest of us. 

I think the point was that you and your other son could still go.

 You do realise that business people from abroad don't have to quarantine and probably go all kinds of places but you feel the need to try and needle me?  

I am aware, as are many people. Those "business people from abroad", also have to have tested negative, any positive test and they are either not allowed to fly in the first place, or have to go into self-isolation/quarantine in the UK. I do not see a comment trying to "needle" you, I see a comment pointing out that two thirds of the party can still go away.

I and my son have worked solidly through it in high risk jobs so if we booked a 3 days away virtually last minute I think we're entitled whether or you like it or not. 

That is irrelevant, the risks of booking a holiday during a pandemic are known and obvious to all, whether that person has worked throughout the pandemic or not. You are allowed to go on holiday with the current rules, no one is entitled to a holiday.

Nothing useful or helpful added to the question just nit picking.  We are aware that 2 of us can go and we will go as 'allowed'. Whether that is wise is another matter.  

If you ask for people's opinions on a forum, you will get people's opinions, just because you do not get the answer you want, does not mean that the answer you do get are wrong.

yes and I already pointed out that I was referring to your statement


My other son is a police officer and he's been told he turns up for work unless he has a positive test for covid.  My employer says the same.  

The government would seem to be unaware of this new rule that you say has been in operation for months as when the G7 delegate  tested positive for covid the delegate who travelled with him also had to isolate.
