It is unlikely that you will get it again but just to be on the safe side make sure partner washes his hands well and disinfect the toilet and handles. hope you are all over with it quickly and you have a lovely Christmas. :hugs:

I think I read that once you have had it you are immune for about 14 weeks, which should actually last until we get out of this crisis. Agree with Annie that it's quite unlikely you or your little one will get it again, as you've just had it. Once your partner gets over it, which should be very soon, you will all be fine over the festive period. :) it's worth still keeping up high standards of hygiene though. Have a great x-mas and new year! :)

I know little of this virus, I've already freaked out about bird a d pig flu so I try to avoid additional things that worry me now.

Yes it's unlikely you'd catch it after your body fought off the virus.
Sorry to hear you had it :( must have been hard and with a child as well.

I hope your mum feels better soon.
Christmas can be stressful enough without coming down sick.
