Positive lft awaiting pcr but separated parents

I can't seem to find any definitive answers online so hoping someone here might know or point me in the right direction..

Dd's dad and I have been separated for 3.5 years. Good coparenting relationship etc.

Dd and I have tested positive today on lft. Been for pcr test and awaiting result. But can she still go for contact with her Dad? I know the info in lockdown 1 was yes but have no idea of still the case.

For background neither of us have any of the publicised symptoms but dd has complained of a headache since last Saturday and is bouncing around today for first time in a week. Having read up on the new variant and people's experiences I now know that this is a symptom. So technically her isolation period should be up on Monday night.

We only know because indo routine tests on a Tuesday and Saturday. Tuesday I was negative and today it has shown positive. I tested dd, dp and made my parents abd dd's dad all test. Dd and I are the only ones who were positive. I work I'm a satellite office and have been on my own all week, the only person 8 have been near til dp came over last night is my dd. It has clearly come from her school (primary).

I am triple jabbed and had absolutely no idea that headaches were a symptom. I have had a headache on and off since tuesday but the neighbouring office use spray paint constantly and ever since they moved in I have had a headache every time I have been into our office so it wasn't unusual iyswim.

@OverTheRubicon , OK I understand and I really feel for you with the shit you have gone through. Looks like I was wrong with my point and certainly agree it's a balancing act between stopping spread and the consequences for relationships of delaying the contact. Depends on the situation.

Currently ill with Covid and isolating, confined to a separate part of the house from the rest of the family and it is really miserable and lonely but passing it on to other family members would have serious consequences for them so sticking it out. So far fingers crossed they are clear.
