How do I know when I'm not infectious anymore?

I went down with Covid 6 days ago. I feel better now, but am still getting a strong line on tests.

I WFH anyway, so that's not a problem, but I've been sleeping in the spare room and generally keeping out of the way of the family - DP in particular as he has other health conditions and we really don't want him to get covid. It seems to have worked so far.

How much longer should I quarentine myself for? Do I need to wait till the test is clear?

About a third of people are no longer infectious by day five, most not infectious by day ten, some go on longer. Keep place well ventilated.

Sorry, yes, false positives v rare.

I think a positive test means you are still infectious. Sometimes the lines stop quite suddenly though sonit might not be too much longer.
