When to stop doing daily lft's?

Probably a really stupid question. Confused. Dd tested positive last weekend. She's now on day 6 and tested negative yesterday and today so out of isolation - she had covid last month so probably cleared it quicker this time.

One thing days 7 day daily lft's for close contacts or for 10 days after contact! Which one is it? We started doing them last Sunday on the day she got a positive lft.

Don't mind doing them daily but running out quickly. Ordered some and haven't arrived for days, think that's a delay in our local postal system at the minute as haven't had post in days, parcels delayed. No chemists have them. We have enough to do tomorrow, maybe Monday and that's it! 3 of us testing. Been negative all week... no symptoms.

Hopefully tests will turn up this Monday. We've gone through so many this week! 🤷‍♀️

If you are testing as a close contact I'm sure it's for 7 days not 10.

Yes, there's nothing about ten for close contacts?

Most people in the household get it within 10 days so personally would keep testing till 10

It’s 7 days for close contact. If you are running short, I wouldn’t do testing Sunday, but test Monday before work, school, not exactly the rules, but if you are short, this is what I would do.

My text says 7 days. No mention of 10

Its advisory anyway so doesn't matter even if you don't test at all. In another month or o testing will be gone
