How long to test negative after covid?

If I have Covid now, due to finish isolating on 23rd, when am I likely to get clear on a lateral flow test /pcr test?

Obviously trying to work out my holiday. Wink

For my dad it took 7 weeks....

You can test positive for up to 90 days after a positive PCR. Might be more likely to be negative on an LFT than a PCR

My DH tested negative on LFT on day 8 of isolation. He’s been told no point in another PCR until after 90 days as it may show as positive from the initial infection.

6 days since my positive PCR, I tested negative on LFT.

Only sneezing and one runny nostril were my symptoms - for a day!

I'm exactly the same! Positive PCR and holiday next month.. my LFTs are negative though so not too worried about passing one of those to travel, PCR will be a gamble though..

Thanks. Have just cancelled the holiday anyway. It was transferred from last year, so have just moved it to next year. I can't stand the added worry on top of actually having Covid.
