Day 5 - Hurrah!
It's very safe to say that Genevieve's symptoms are now the same as that of a very slight cold. To us, that means that she's starting to get a bit of cabin fever, and we're having to get more inventive with our activities to keep her busy/distracted/not whinging.
She's well aware that Naomi and I carry things on our bikes, and, of course, she knows the CargoBike better than any of us. So... it was time to convert her runbike into a utility bike. An icecream container, some duct tape, a texta and a few stickers and it was all done. She was VERY proud, and she quickly rode some toys down to the loungeroom to show Mummy.
Friends dropped around, including Genevieve's best friend. They dropped her off a gingerbread man and rang the bell, then spoke to us from the safety of the street. Poor little kid... he didn't seem to happy he couldn't play with Genevieve.
So... I decided to ring DHS. Quite a quick conversation, and the woman I spoke to confirmed that the current quarantine requirements were that those in contact with a known case, but who were not symptomatic no longer needed to be quarantined, and that those who were confirmed and had been taking Tamiflu for three days no longer needed to be quarantined. So for us, that was a 'check' and a 'check' which meant
We were free!
It was about lunchtime by that stage, so as quickly as we could (under the requirements of Juliette's patterns...) we packed up the tribe in the pram and walked a few kms to a little cafe where we had a $40 voucher. Freedom never tasted SO good!
Genevieve's meal (Toad in a hole) also had a sausage and some BACON. Oh sweet, delicious irony. Not long after we got home, we also went to the park and had a kick and a play.
Postscript - At 4:02pm on Saturday, I received a call from DHS, informing me that we were allowed out. So that's a full 2 days, and 5 hours from when the update went out to the GPs. Aaah well, at least they're finally getting around to everyone, and we wouldn't have been in quarantine for a whole other week eh?
