It is only 5 days for a close contact if you are boosted over a week. It is 5 antigens and 10 days if not!
It was a tense Christmas. My cousin rang my mam on Christmas Eve and said we are outside! Mam invited her in, and she comes in with her 2 teenagers. I had words with Mam while making the tea then, and mam goes oh it's only your cousin! Obviously we wake to a text message on Christmas Day saying the 2 teenagers had positive antigens. Why she couldn't have tested them before going round 5 different houses I don't know.
We haven't gotten the text from HSE saying we are a close contact yet and our 5 days is nearly up!
Probably cos it's impossible to book a PCR at the moment, I need it for work (not that I was going back anyways) and was up till 1am last night booking one and this is in Sligo, I can only imagine what it's like elsewhere!
Yes PCR testing hitting breaking point everywhere I'd say and apparently each test costs HSE €200
