Self-isolation Advice

Started feeling unwell last Friday and went straight into SI and avoiding contact with family in house since. So it is 8 days including today. Spoke to GP today and they have told me to continue SI - bit confused? I thought I needed to SI for 7 days from symptoms and family for 14 days.

How well do you feel? You would SI for 7 days if you have symptoms and then as long as you have no temperature and feel better you can come out of isolation. Stay in isolation if you still have a temperature. Rest of household isolates for 14 days

Thanks dementedpixie.

I feel okay - better. No temperature for 72hs now which is why I am confused by GP advice (have been following ‘stay at home guidance’ too). I was seeing GP for something unrelated...

...oh well. I will stay in here until Monday and see how it goes.
