Can I return to work?

[user382912198]

On Thursday 30/12 my LFT showed a positive result, I ordered a PCR home test which I did on Tuesday 4/1 which showed negative.
I have symptoms and my LFT are still positive, I have ordered another PCR.
My manager is saying I need to return to work even though I am showing positive on LFT and have symptoms.

I think you’re getting a bit lost with all the tests and dates etc. You’re sick. So stay at home. No one wants your virus regardless of whether it’s covid or not.

He's wrong but after the tenth day ie on the 10th Jan you're allowed out if you don't have a temperature.
Did you register the LFT and get emailed with the guidance?

You need to isolate for 10 days unless your LFD is negative. Your boss is wrong

You have not tested negative on day 6/7 therefore you must remain in isolation.

If you have symptoms or test positive
