Logic of PCR test for school close contact

Child's bubble has closed, she's off until next week.

Last contact was Thursday.

Letter says we should get a PCR test for her as soon as possible.

Why?

If I do one tomorrow, it doesn't mean that she wouldn't be positive next Sunday, so why do it so early?

If she has to isolate for the full time anyway, why bother testing at all? If she gets symptoms, then we'd cross the 'next isolation' bridge at that point.

Am I being thick?

I'll let my parents know. I'm not doing any more testing of myself, fed up of it as it is.
