When to come out of isolation if LFTs were always negative?

Hi MN.

DP is testing negative on LFTs (has to do them twice weekly for work) but due to symptoms he did a PCR which was positive. Not feeling very well at all but getting better each day. What is confusing is, when does he come out of isolation if the LFTs always say negative? Obviously we don't want to waste them but he did one yesterday (about 2/3 days after symptoms beginning/PCR taken), and it was negative. I wondered if it would be the full 10 days? Thanks

Days 5 and 6, take an LFT. As long as he is negative and doesn’t have a high temperature, he can come out of isolation.

The day symptoms started is Day 0. Take two LFTs, on day 5 and 6. If they're both negative he can stop isolating.
