Has anyone tested negative to leave isolation early?

[Southlandssue]

My son is on day eight of his isolation and is still testing positive, the only symptom he has had throughout is a temperature on the first evening (which is why we tested in the first place) but still have faint lines coming up on the LFT.

Just wondering really whether there is any chance of coming out of isolation early although now it would only be one day early anyway and also what the logic is that at 10 ten days you are fine even if still testing positive on day 10.

So I guessing no one!

Yes i tested negative 7/8 days after my positive. My son and husband both tested negative early too, son was day 5/6 and husband was day 6/7.

I tested negative on day 5 and 6, which was a surprise as my initial positive was very strong!

Both I and my son tested negative on our respective days 6/7. I did a lot of skooshing of my nose with one of those saline sprays - obviously no idea if that’s what did the trick but you do get a great nose blow afterwards!

DD1 has tested negative on days 6&7 so was back at school on day 7.

Rest of us haven't caught it.

Oh well, I guess we’ve just been unlucky but wish I could just get him back to school. I am on day six and hoping to get out early but I won’t hold my breath

DS tested negative today on day 5 but he's asymptomatic so not actually sure what day he really is, could be day 14 for all I know.

My daughter tested negative on day 6.

Dd tested negative days 7/8, I’ve been testing negative since the day my positive pcr came in from friday, so assuming I’ll be ok to leave on Wednesday.

Yes, my son did. Days 5 and 6. Not one member of staff at work has had negative results before say 10 though...

Daughter tested neg on days 6/7. I’m still positive on day 9.

I'm still positive and I'm day 20 tomorrow!

My dd tested negative on days 5,6 and 7. (she also tested negative on day 0 when the symptoms started). She did 6 days isolation. Was back at school on day 7

Yes DC yesterday 6 and today day 7 so will send back tomorrow. I thought had to be a full 23 hours eg 5/6 then out on 7 or 7/8 and out on 9 etc not 5/6 then out on 6!

My husband had his first positive on Monday, and by Friday was testing clear.

People at my work and a friend have done less then 10 days, I assume it's pretty common.

To answer the second question, it's science not logic that says you can go out after 10 days regardless. Testing positive after that length of time doesn't mean you are infectious, 2 years of real life research has found that to be the case

Nope. All three of us did the full 10 days and were testing positive to the bitter end.

On day 10 here and still testing positive. Back to work tomorrow 🤷🏼‍♀️

Those who came out early did the line get gradually fainter or just disappear? I'm day 6/7 and line is still as dark as the control.

I tested negative on day 5 and the same on day 6 so it does happen

@20week Mine just disappeared

Yes.

DC1 tested negative on day 5 and day 6 and went back to school on day 7.

We tested as he felt sick and had a headache. That become day zero..

Yes, I tested negative on days 6 and 7. DD2 on days 5 and 6. DD1 took the full 10 days.

Son was never positive on LTF, did a PCR as he had a cough, and usually needs antibiotics for a chest infection, and I knew GP wouldn't see him without having done on!
I am now on day6, and no sign of my lft lines fading
