What should I do?

I am on day 7 of isolation. I did a PCR as I felt really unwell. First pcr couldn't be read so I had to do a second. I tracked it so I know it was delivered to the testing place. Still no results. My issue is I've not once shown positive ever on a LF. I was doing them daily and all negative so doing the LF testing on days 6 and 7 seems pointless in my situation so should I just stay on for the full 10 days? I've tested positive before on a PCR and I never tested positive on LFs back then either but definitely had covid. Tia

I would do LFT today and tomorrow then go out if negative and you feel ok. If your first PCR had been positive you could have done the day 6/7 LFTs so it's not different from that. If you have had new onset of fever, cough or change to smell/taste since taking the first PCR test I would hang fire and wait for the PCR result though, just in case the first one was taken too soon. If you go out, maybe avoid close contact and wear a mask until you get the (hopefully) negative result through.

This happened to me but it was last year when there were more stricter rules, needless to say, I did the full ten days of isolation.
