We got covid - now what?

Callie, on August 20, 2020 at 7:17 PM Posted in Fitness and Health 0 12
My fiancé and I recently got COVID ourselves. Thankfully we had mild cases and are on the mend and should be fine by our wedding, but I’m afraid our guests will be scared to be around us, even though we’re not contagious anymore. There’s just such a stigma around getting COVID, like you’re a leper or something. Is anyone going through the same thing or have any thoughts/advice?

    As long as you test negative before the wedding, I wouldn’t worry about it. Some people will still be concerned and there’s nothing you can do about that.

    Definitely just iterate to people you guys are recovered and are negative for covid.

    as pp said, there are going to be people that are uncomfortable in general or concerned in general.

    glad to hear you guys are doing ok!

    Sure, some of your guests might be concerned and not show up. However, that’s true even for couples who didn’t have COVID themselves. But I totally understand because there are so many asymptomatic individuals. So some guests would rather be safe and stay away from group events. Others will take the chance. Unfortunately, final guest counts are less reliable these days.

    If anything, that should make them feel less nervous about coming! Let people know when you've tested positive. It seems like people who get covid do acquire immunity to it, so assuming you test positive before the wedding, you'll be even less of a risk to your guests than you would've been if you had never gotten it.

    I agree with Caytlyn. As long as you have negative test results before your wedding, I think you'll be fine

    One of my bosses got it, I still hang out with him.
    I know plenty of people and we treat them no different.

    I think it would be appreciated that you're being transparent. As others have said, make it clear whether you're currently testing negative and probably reinforce what other precautions will be in place for the guests' safety. We're in the corona wedding boat too - lost another 2 "former yes" people today. I understand the tough road you're on. I'm happy people trust us enough to know we won't hold it against them, but it's tough to think about our day kind of crumbling around us. Glad that you both are healthy and happy - that's what matters.

    There's no need for guests to know unless you test positive again right before the wedding. Yes, I agree; there is a huge negative stigma around those who have/had COVID.

    Thanks ladies! Y’all are absolutely right. People will be worried in general, with or without us previously having COVID! Good news though, I got my second test results back today and they were negative! 🎉🎉

    Most people will be fine as long as you test negative before the wedding.
