How to count isolation period?

So I had a test on Monday which was positive ( no symptoms) so I’m isolating for 10 days. Is my first day of being allowed out next Thursday or Friday? Unsure if Monday counts as day 1?!

Official guidelines is count the day of the test as day 1 if no symptoms or count the first day if symptoms as day one , if you then tested positive
