Strong positive on LFT still.

I know I don't have to isolate (and I'm not fully) but I am avoiding close contact, playgroups, seeing CEV family and friends, pregnant friends etc and haven't been in a supermarket... BUT do I carry on as normal after tomorrow? What's the longest you've tested positive for on a LFT?

Day 10 still positive. Am I likely to still be infectious?

It surely shouldn’t be much longer now. Are the lines getting weaker?
I am wondering the same thing, currently Day 5 ( Day 7 symptoms).
I hope it clears up soon for you and you are able to go out and about!

It is a bit weaker today but was still very strong yesterday.

I kept testing positive over ten days. I rang 119 and they said that after 10days, as long as there is no fever, you are not infectious. You may continue to test positive for up to 90 days as the test can pick up antibodies.

Great I have no symptoms so think I'm good to go!

All 4 of us have covid here on differing days. DH and I are no longer going to test as we are still showing strong positives and will just come out of isolation on day 10, it’s just too stressful. Both my adult sons workplaces want to see day 5 and 6 tests so that they can pay them. I don’t know anyone who has been able to come out of isolation earlier than the 10 days.

We do go out for a dog walk each day and avoid anyone we come across.

Doesn't that only apply to pcr?
