Do you get a covid pass if you only tested on a lateral flow?

DD has just tested positive on a lateral flow. She had a horrible headache which is why I tested her but not one of the 3 main symptoms that make you eligible for a PCR.

I heard that you can’t get the Covid pass saying you’re recovered from covid if you don’t have a PCR.

We are due to go on holiday over Easter where she may need to take a PCR. She could, in theory, still test positive at that point and therefore would need to show a covid pass. Does anyone know if she would get one if I don’t get a PCR for her?

I would just get a PCR test anyway.

No, only if you do a pcr

Get a PCR. If my son had covid but not one the main symptoms, he had to get to get the PCR for school records. Just get one, she does have COVID after all.

Thanks all, after posting this her temp shot up to 38.5 for a bit so I ordered a PCR as she has “legitimate” symptoms. She hasn’t actually been able to get out of bed all day, she’s had vomiting, exhaustion, the works but not much in the way of the three “official” symptoms!
