I sent my pcr off yesterday but I've been doing lateral flows since Sunday. I've had symptoms since Friday so day 5ish today and lateral flows have been very faint this morning.

I'm interested in this too as both my kids have/had covid in the last two weeks. Eldest was testing negative on a lateral flow by day 6 after positive pcr. Little one tested negative yesterday on lat flow on day 8.

I’m thinking it means you are past the contagious stage- especially as in the news there is talk of shortening the isolation period to 7 days if a person produces negative lateral flows for two days in a row

@Slagertha The way the lateral flow tests work means they will show up when you're in the contagious phase, which is usually a couole of days before any symptoms, and a week to ten days after.
