Do hospital patients still have to isolate

... if they have been a contact of a positive covid case?

An elderly relative was due to be discharged this week but suddenly they have been moved to a private room and told they will not be discharged for ten days for isolation. They have no symptoms and no positive test. They were just on the same ward as a patient who is positive.

I thought guidelines said contacts no longer had to isolate unless they had symptoms or they also tested positive? Why is it different in hospital?

Would the relative be going to a residential care home or to their own private home?

Their own home, which is why I'm confused!
