Still positive on LFTs after isolation period

Positive PCR. Isolated for 10 days. Still getting faint positive LFTs. Does this mean still infectious?

I don’t think so. It says you’re not supposed to do a pcr for 90 days after a positive result so I’d assume the same for lateral flows.

I think you can still have the virus present even when not contagious.

I think you are advised not to test again for 90 days as can still show positive. If temp has gone I think you can go out after isolation period over

No, you can still test positive up to 90 days after, but not infectious after 10 days isolation.
