DC 18 felt a bit rubbish with a headache and tired, did a lateral flow test and it's positive. Triple vacc'd, not had it before.
Due to sit an A level exam tomorrow at large FE college. We've emailed college but they won't respond until the morning. Anyone know what advice we might be given? Will they be able to attend the exam?
Gov advice says advice is to isolate for three days but now there's no legal req isolate, wondering what college will say.
Any thoughts from those in the know?

We had this last week - large FE college.

My student was allowed to opt to come in. She was sat in a separate room. All windows open and in a mask.
