Do you have to isolate if contacted through track and trace but negative test?

[TheoriginalLEM]

If you are contacted via track and trace but have a negative covud test you can return to work right?

No, not if you are still within an isolation period after contact with a positive case

No, you have to stick out the 14 days, due to the virus incubation period.

I thought you still had to isolate
A lad at work took a test as someone in the office tested positive, he was negative
2 days later he was floored with covid, he then passed to his wife and mil
You are still a risk

Although from tomorrow the isolation period after contact with a positive case is reducing to 10 days. A negative test doesn't get you out of isolation any earlier as you could still be incubating it

No. You still have to isolate because the disease may still be in its incubation period / sub clinical hence the negative test.

No, because you can still develop covid. You may be infected but with a viral load to low to show on the test. You have to isolate until the date the app gives you, no get outs.

In England you have to keep isolating if you have been in contact with someone who has Covid:

What to do when you get your test result

If you test negative (the test did not find coronavirus):

keep self-isolating for the rest of the 14 days from when you were last in contact with the person who has coronavirus – as you could get symptoms after being tested
anyone you live with can stop self-isolating if they do not have symptoms
anyone in your support bubble can stop self-isolating if they do not have symptoms

No you can't. People shouldn't be testing without symptoms and a negative test doesn't mean you aren't brewing it.

No, you still need to isolate. A negative test means little during the incubation period.

There is an incubation period for covid - so you may have the virus but if you test too early for it you'll get a negative result. The risk with you returning to work is that you then spread it to your colleagues, who might spread it to their family members, etc.

Ask yourself if you're happy to risk being responsible for the potential death of your colleagues, customers and their vulnerable family members and you'll realise that isolating for a few days is by far the least bad issue.

No, you still have to isolate

🤦‍♀️

No. How is this still a question? The rules regarding isolating as a contact have been there for montgs.

Are you not capable of using Google?

Fuck me, why are people still so fucking ignorant about this? Covid has been here for 9 months, wake up or we'll still be in the same holey boat in 5 years time

Did you read any of the messages you were sent by track and trace?!

It doesn’t work like that, ffs

Why do all these idiots keep calling it Track and Trace. That's a Royal Mail thing. Fuck all to do with Covid.

Is this a wind up?
