COVID testing advice pls

[Suzie119999]

I’m really confused as I’m very unwell so can’t think properly. Been feeling I’ll since Friday but still went into work as I feel we’re made to feel guilty if we don’t go in. Just done a LFT and it’s positive. Do I still need to get a PCR done? Am I supposed to go into work tomorrow? Do I email my line manager and tell him? I live in England.

Yes I just phoned up my out of hours hub GP and they said if LFT is positive you don’t need a PCR. I’m just confused about my work policy as they haven’t made it very clear.

My daughter is refusing to do LFT. She’s 5. What can I do?

Do it in her sleep? Or assume she is positive and keep her off.

You're still advised to stay at home although it's not now legally mandated to do so
