Dropping isolation period from 10 days down to 7 whilst all this time they've told us were contagious for up to 10 days.
the important factor you missed was that you have to have a negative test at day 6 and 7 otherwise full 10 days is still in play. i still dont understand how you could test positive on pcr for 90 days after but not LFT though. weird shit |

The way I understand it after my daughter was positive is that the PCR test picks up even the slightest trace of the virus, whereas the LFT doesn't. She is now at the end of her isolation period, her LFT's are reporting negative for the past 3-4 days, but she did a PCR test a few days ago and it still said positive. She is going for her "Freedom PCR test" tomorrow as that will be 10 days up - hopefully it now shows negative. |

LFT's are not very sensitive at all, their main purpose is to pick up asymptomatic people through sheer weight of testing rather than sensitivity of test. |

thanks, is a "freedom" pcr required though? can't she just go about as normal after 10 days without the need for any more tests? |

Having had Covid six weeks ago the NHS will tell you there is no point in doing a PCR test for 90 days as it will somehow stay in your blood stream. They also said there was no point in doing any lateral flow test within that period unless new symptons developed. |

Likewise, albeit it was a couple of weeks back. The main problem I had is that if you have the flu one at the same time, they won't jab you twice in the same arm so you end up unable to sleep on either side for a couple of nights!  |

It’s purely so that they can one up England isn’t it?! For Scotland especially it would be interesting to see what they would be doing if they were independent and paying for everything themselves…. |
