I am due to have a lumpectomy on friday10th June but despite being really careful I have had a positive covid test today. I'm so worried. Can't talk to tge hospital until Monday morning. Anyone know what the implications about the operation going ahead night be?

    You have to wait weeks for elective surgery. Something to do with a higher complication rate in those who have recently had covid. I think the risks drop back to normal around the  7-8 week mark.

    I had to wait longer than normal for a tooth to be pulled. And that is a walk in the park compared to the surgery you're having.
