Mum apologises to guests she invited to BBQ after testing positive for coronavirus

A mum who has tested positive for coronavirus has warned family and friends to get themselves checked after they attended a BBQ at her house.

The woman, from Rossington in Doncaster, revealed she has been breaking lockdown by addressing "all the ones who have been visiting" her house lately and suggesting they may want to get tested for the virus.

She singled out the BBQ she'd recently hosted, saying anyone who came to that should definitely get checked out, reports Yorkshire Live.

The woman posted her apology in a local Facebook group, warning everyone she'd come into contact with.

"Just to let all my friends and family know I have been tested positive for Covid-19, for all ones who have been visiting my house lately especially the BBQ we had the other day, you might have to get yourself checked out now.

Scores of people commented on the woman's post to criticise her for breaking lockdown rules.

Later she posted a reply to say it was "none of their business" what she did.

It is currently against lockdown rules to visit other people in their homes.

As of May 13, when phase one of the lockdown easing began, people are permitted to meet up with one other person who does not live with them, but only if they meet up in a public space and maintain social distancing rules.

You can now sit around in public spaces such as parks, on the condition that you maintain a distance from others, unless they are from your household.

Unlimited exercise is now allowed, as is driving somewhere to take exercise, as long as it's just for the day.

Under the government's current guidelines, it's still necessary that people stay at home wherever possible.

Many Brits decided to make use of the new rules as they packed out parks, beaches and other public spaces in the sun.
