When to start the 10 day isolation from?

[BradleyCooperwillbemine]

Could be another daft question, so please forgive me. I started to feel a bit meh on Saturday, 26th. No covid symptoms, did the online checker and checked temp. On Thursday, 1st October my sense of smell went. Did online checker again and advised to have test. Had test on Friday, 2nd October - positive. Do I start the isolation period from the Saturday or the Thursday?

Don't mean to be rude but you need to ask a medical professional or T&T not on mumsnet.

You'll get an array of answers on here.

The Saturday, it starts from when your symptoms started.

Sorry, just read your actual symptoms started Thursday. So Thursday then not Saturday.

As luck would have it, someone from Track and trace have just rung me, so I asked him. He advised to go from the Saturday, so I shall go on that.

Fair enough

Good to know track and trace are on the case. Get well soon
