If your partner has tested positive for covid and you have the 2 shots, no symptoms, shouldn't you still be isolating too. They say even if you have the 2 shots you can still get covid and carry covid?

No you are not required to isolate if you are a close contact of someone who has covid and you are vaccinated. Some people might do so but they are not required to.

Close contacts of a COVID-19 case may be exempt from self-isolation (quarantine) if they have no symptoms AND are fully vaccinated or were recently infected with COVID-19 in the past six months. Household members of a symptomatic close contact may be exempt from self-isolation (quarantine) if they no symptoms AND are fully vaccinated or were recently infected with COVID-19 in the past six months. Public health officials will let you know if you meet criteria for exemption. Individuals who are exempt from self-isolation (quarantine) should still self-monitor for symptoms and if any develop, isolate immediately and go for testing.

No isolation required if they are vaccinated. It’s quite stupid really. I personally know someone who was exposed had zero symptoms and then ended up giving it to their family who in turn passed it to others.

why would the gov't decide to let vaccinated covid positive people gather with others? No wonder cases are rising.

New studies are showing that fully vaxxed people are less likely to spread the virus, even if they become infected. I have come across this information from several different sources in the past couple of weeks. Here is one link, but even if you do not like NBC, a search should co.e up with similar information from other sources.

Whoa whoa whoa. Positive people are not allowed to gather, vaccinated or not.

They are if they have no symptoms.  
 
If you are fully vaxxed and your spouse or child tests positive, you are not required to isolate. You can go to work or to events as normal as long as you are symptom free.

No. If a person tests positive, they can not go to work or events.  
If they are a fully vaccinated CONTACT of someone who tested positive, they can go to work etc (they do not need to isolate).

I think it was stated that if you are vaxxed and asymptomatic you do not have to isolate!

Individuals identified as having COVID-19 must immediately enter mandatory isolation until public health officials advise they can end isolation.  
Close contacts of a person or persons with COVID-19, unless otherwise exempt, must immediately go into mandatory self-isolation (quarantine) for 10 days, followed by 4 days of self-monitoring for symptoms, from the last date of exposure. They should call Health Links-Info Santé (204-788-8200 or 1-888-315-9257) if they develop symptoms.  
Household members of close contacts do not need to self-isolate (quarantine) as long as they and the close contact in the household remain without symptoms. If the close contact develops symptoms, all household members, unless otherwise exempt, should self-isolate (quarantine) until the symptomatic individual receives their COVID-19 test result.  
Close contacts and household members of close contacts may be exempt from self-isolation (quarantine) if they have no symptoms AND are fully immunized at the time of the exposure or have had a COVID-19 infection within the past 6 months. Public health officials will let close contacts know if they meet criteria for exemption from self-isolation (quarantine). All individuals exempt from self-isolation (quarantine) requirements, should continue to self-monitor for symptoms, and isolate immediately if any develop and go for testing.  
 
I will assure you at this time, if my partner tested positive for covid, out of respect for my coworkers, their families, and others in my community, I would be self isolating no matter what the rules are.

If that vaxxed parent/spouse has no symptoms and does not get tested (not sure they have to be tested if they have no symptoms?)-or if they get tested on day 1 after exposure and are negative then do not get tested again, they could very well be positive and do not know it. If they tested again on day 4 or day 7 they might be positive. The people I have known who had sick children or spouse were tested on day 1 or 2 after the child or spouse tested positive and then never tested again. They continued to go to work during the 14 days the positive family members were isolating.  
 
At the time one bulliten stated that school contacts should test on day 7 or 8 but I don't know if anyone adhered to that-the ones I know went and got tested as soon as they learned of the infection in one of their close contacts and/or showed the onset of symptoms-and I don't know if that is still the recommendation. In any case, my co-workers never showed symptoms and if they spread anything to the rest of us, none of us showed symptoms (nor did our families).  
 
Just because someone gets a negative test today does not mean they would test negative again tomorrow or the next day-so it is still very possible that under current policy a fully vaxxed person could be going to work while positive. There is no wording in those regulations that requires multiple days of testing for fully vaxxed contacts of a positive person.

It doesn’t matter if you live with someone who tested positive, you do not have to isolate if you are fully vaccinated and have no symptoms. You could very well be positive, but as long as you are vaccinated and symptom free, you carry on as normal.

Yes you are not required to isolate BUT you were exposed so common sense says you should to Protect all others vaxxed and non vaxxed alike. As all can carry and spread it equally. Please use respect and common sense.
