What if you come back to UK from a country that requires a test before departure? Do you still need to self isolate if you know you are Covid negative?

I’m travelling from a country that is not in the travel corridor but I will have a test done on the day of leaving. So I will know I’m Covid negative. Does this not count?

No because you could test positive when you're home. It can take days for your result to be positive.

@Agnisia
Yes but you'll only be negative at the point of testing. What it you catch it in the airport,on the plane etc?

Yes of course! I just got back from another country. I tested negative just before I got on the plane. But I’m still quarantining of course. I could have picked up Covid while I was there and it wouldn’t show up yet. I’m going to be tested again next week and if that’s negative I will be a bit more relaxed about walking outdoors but still not interact with people til it’s been 10+ days.

It will not count and they could still call to check up on you
