Ending self isolation question

[ginberry4]

DD & I have had a covid test. Mine’s come back negative, DD’s came back unclear so going for a re-test today. We’ve both had same symptoms- runny nose, high temperature and cough - so pretty sure hers will be negative too but obviously need to have that confirmed.

Do I need to keep isolating along with the rest of the family until her result comes through, given I know for sure I don’t have it?

I think I probably do but just want to be sure.

No i think as you've had a negative test you can stop isolating. The others need to wait for the results of your dd's test before their isolation ends if they don't have symptoms

Not true.
You need to remain in isolation until she has a negative test or 14 days have passed. Just because you didn't have it at a detectable stage when you were tested doesn't mean you couldn't have caught it off her since.

OP had symptoms and got a negative test so she can leave isolation

Or might just be best waiting on the result of dds test to be sure

Argh it’s really not clear is it?! Anyone else know?

You all have to isolate until her new test result is back, sorry.

You need to wait for her test result. She could be positive.

Just ignore that you had a test at all basically, you're isolating because she has symptoms, so follow the rules for that.

You all need to stay in isolation until everyone in the house who has symptoms has had a negative result.

You have to isolate until your daughter has a negative result or 14 days have passed since symptoms started.

Ok thanks all - I’ll be staying home.
