Help! DS just had covid, is vaccinated, but told to isolate due to Omnicron. Is that right?

I can't find any guidance on this, can anyone help? I understand that if you are a close contact of someone who gets Omnicron then you have to isolate, even if double jabbed. But what about if you are single jabbed (14 year old) AND have literally just had and recovered from COVID? Do you still have to isolate then?

DS's school want him to stay at home for yet another period of isolation. This seems a bit silly, given his recent infection. But also I had planned on keeping the kids in school until the end of term, as they've both had covid recently and thus I thought no risk of them picking it up again and having to isolate over Xmas. Now I'm worried we would have to isolate regardless - and miss seeing our family we haven't seen for 2 years - even though we've all just had it. Arrrghhhhh.

Anyone have any idea on this?

Oh I see, yes. In that case, judging by the current confusing mess of 'guidelines', you'd still be required to isolate AND take a PCR. Which is madness. Even the suggestion that those exposed to Omicron do a daily LFT rather than isolate is also madness (in our case), as each day it'd be the same false positive. It's like it has never occurred to them that you could get it, recover, and be exposed again in quick succession. My DS's isolation period from actual bloody covid ended less than a fortnight ago...
