covid Situation!!

I need help. This is such a hard decision. My jr bridesmaid dad has covid and the Friday before the wedding will be 10 days quarantine completion. Last Tuesday my jr bridesmaid dad tested positive for covid, given medicine he has been quarantined in the basement for the past 5 days. 5 days from now is rehearsal night and my jr bridesmaid 10th day of quarantine. Their dr told them that they need to quarantine for 10 days? I thought it needed to be 14 days? I’m trying to decide what to do. Do I let her come alone and just walk down the aisle without getting ready with all the girls or getting her hair done by our hairstylist? Do I make them sit in the car? Make them sit in the back and not participate? What to do? I want her to be a part of the wedding but I’m worried for the elderly and high risk guest. HELP! If it was just my fiancé and I then it would be easy I’d let her come but there are others to think about. This is such a big day and I don’t want them to miss out!

    I'm so sorry this is happening so close to your wedding. I know where I live it's a 10 day quarantine so it might be fine. Ultimately you have to do what makes you the most comfortable for everyone involved. Good luck.

    Yes I thought it was 14 too, but one of my friends had it and her doctor told her 10

    The science shows they are fine to leave quarantine by day 11. You can have your Junior Bridesmaid take a rapid test on day 11, your wedding day, out of extra caution. Dad should not, the doctor and Department of Health have cleared him as long as he does not have a fever. There's no reason she or they need to be separated from others and can join in festivities as long as they feel well.

    Nurse here -

    (The recommended practice on COVID-related things changes all the time as we learn more and more, so my advice should be taken with a grain of salt).

    Your bridesmaid can come out of quarantine after she has tested negative (I'd recommend 2 negative tests 2 days apart to be safe) and you can proceed as originally planned.

    If there is any possibility that she might have COVID, she must not come to your wedding. She must not get her hair done because she will expose the hairstylist. The risk is simply too high. You can see if there are any remote/video call options, but she cannot come in person.

    If she ends up missing the ceremony, may I suggest setting up a later date for photography? Rescheduling hair and makeup would be a bit of a hassle, but you'd still get some of the pictures you'd wanted.

    (Official advice: Everyone (regardless of vaccination status) should wear masks whenever they're in public. Remember that a mask is to protect those around you, not just you.)

    I would not risk it, it’s way too close.
