My dd had a positive PCR about 7 weeks ago. She has just been identified again as a close contact from the weekend. Am I right in thinking she can't get another PCR so soon after her previous positive? Can she go to school? I have no idea with all the rules anymore.

Is she under 18?
If so she doesn't need to isolate anyway. In England it's only advisory to take a PCR test

In Scotland she wouldn’t have to isolate if under 18 unless she developed a new symptom then she would be advised to go for a PCR

Under 18 and no symptoms so school tomorrow! Thank you for helping me out. I still have Covid brain fog so I just couldn't figure out what to do!

In Scotland the PCR test releases from isolation as a close contact whereas in England you don't need to isolate and the PCR is advisory.

Although having had covid recently would make me wary of taking a PCR tbh.
