Lateral flow positive again, a month later

[Yellowmellow2]

I had COVID a month ago. LFs (Flowflex) were positive for about two weeks and then negative after that (I have to test regularly for work). Just done one now and it’s positive 🤷‍♀️ I had my booster on Friday but I don’t think that makes a difference? No symptoms apart from slight lingering cough from when I had it. Not sure what to do now. PCR would likely be positive anyway as infection quite recent.

Didn't think you were supposed to do regular LFT tests for 90 days after a positive PCR either.

But they had gone back to being negative for the past two weeks. Do you think it’s just picking up the previous virus?

The gov covid website says that you shouldn't test for 90 days.

Ok, thanks. Will ignore it!

That was the one benefit of my DCs having covid, no lft tests for 90 days, just don't test.

I specifically asked T&T about this because I have to test for work too. I did the same as you, and tested through being ill so I could see when they started to go negative. That was on day 9. T&T said I could LFT for work, but not PCR.

Realistically I'm not going to do any of them for the next couple of months - my nose feels ravaged!
