    If she worked for the NHS, she would have to stay off work. My daughter tested positive and, even though I'm double jabbed, our NHS workforce rules were that I must stay off work for 10 days due to a positive case in the household. And the rules proved correct as I tested positive four days later.
    I work in a vaccine centre and we have the same rules. If someone in your household has covid you can’t go into work. 

    If another member of staff goes down with covid, you can still work and don’t have to isolate, even if you were stationed next to them for a long time.

    Can't see a mention - what region of UK?  I think in Wales they've just changed the rules now that you should self-isolate and PCR even if double jabbed (https://gov.wales/self-isolation#section-83759).  Or maybe its that they're about to make them harsher (isolate regardless), i seem to recall Drayford saying something or other about it. 
    All that says is that if someone in your household or a recent contact tests positive you should isolate until you get the results of a PCR test, it doesn’t say isolate for 10 days regardless.

    It would be good to know what the neighbour did.

    Thanks for updating us.
    FWIW I totally do agree.
    Other parts of our lives including mental health are important too so we have to strike a balance and she did exactly what I would have done.
    We will never all agree on it, but it's clear she didn't act without thought or consulting others.

    I completely agree too. OP's neighbour has done nothing short of what I'd have done in this situation, especially given the LFT, sitting separately and not attending the 'social' part.
