"Isn't the advice still to stay home until you have two consecutive days of a negative test?
LvM
I can't see that on the Government website. "
Probably isn't, I was being considerate, just goes to show where that gets you.

But where did it get you? You don't have to self isolate anymore. It's advised bit not mandatory so you're imposing any restrictions on yourself. Unless, like me, you work in an industry that requires you to stay off work but even then they can enforce you stay in your house. |

There's no legal requirement.
I believe I read recently that 2/3 of people are still testing positive (as a proxy for infectivity) on day 5, which is the benchmark most people set. Personally, I would avoid unnecessary contact for ten days from positive test, but I'm unusually cautious. |

Government advice for at least the last 12 months has been to go out and infect as many people as you possibly can. Make sure you travel on busy public transport, walking up and down train or underground carriages and coughing as much as you can. At work ensure that you stand as close to colleagues as you can and breathe on them. If possible go to stadium events or other mega gatherings, mingle freely, make sure you observe no bio hygiene. Coughing, sneezing, spitting are encouraged.
Remember it is your patriotic duty to maximize the spread of covid, in order to speed the ending of the pandemic. |

"OP do you regret doing the test ?
Yes and no.......Yes - missed out on stuff yesterday and a meet this week.
No - would prefer not to knowingly infect anyone else. "
. Ah, but if you didn’t test you wouldn’t knowingly infect anyone else; which is pretty much how things are in life all the time. |

I'm glad we increasingly have the tools to take care of those around us. |

Is that a long-winded way of saying herd immunity? |

An elderly relative tested positive for 12 weeks, then we gave up testing"
12 weeks? That is persistence for you! |

The same as you would do with any illness that you can pass on to others, try not to infect them which is easier to do if you stay away. |
