Isolating because friend has a cough?

So, am trying to understand the guidelines ... maybe someone can clarify?

I was away with said friend from Thursday until Saturday. Masks worn, social distancing etc all adhered to.

Last night she developed a cough and her employer told her to get a test which she has just done.

I have no symptoms so presume I don’t isolate unless she’s positive?

Yes, correct

No you only isolate if she's positive, unless you live with her, then you'd need to isolate too.

Nope, you don’t need too unless she tests positive.

Thanks all! I was doubting myself!

Yes, you don’t have to isolate unless she gets a positive test, but it would be best if you could be careful around anyone vulnerable, just in case.

We’re you a close contact I.e less than 2m apart for 15 minutes or more? Your op says you were away with her but social distancing kept to. If you weren’t a close contact you don’t need to isolate regardless of test result.

Raccoon - we were sharing an Airbnb but separate bedrooms, out and about together but masks where needed.
