Then what

14 day quarantine and back to life.

But the wife is looking after some one now 6 weeks positive in hospital.

If you test positive do you need a negative test to go back to work.school etc

No, you don't need a neg test. You need to complete the required period of self isolation and be symptom free (apart from they acknowledge a residual cough can last weeks or months and that's ok).

If you've tested positive then you don't need another test for 90 days.

Good question.

Friends of ours got it. Wife was positive for a week. Husband positive for 7 weeks.

No room for complacency anywhere.

As a carer I would most definitely have to have a negative result before I was allowed back in to work and rightly so. Even though this could crucify me financially.

We don't need to have a negative result if tested positive in our home, all we have to do is the isolation and then back to work. Plus we don't get tested again for 90 days which I think is crazy.

It's possible to test false positive after a period of infection, I imagine that's why. The chances of being actually reinfected in a 90 day period are negligible.

I know but just to be on the safe side I do think everyone should still be tested weekly. One of the other nurses had a positive result and she was insistent on still getting tested which luckily have been negative since.

Some people seem to test positive for a while after but are not shedding viable virus, whereas others shed for less time. Some people might end up being kept off work for many weeks but for no reason (if they've recovered from a period of infection). There's quite a bit of literature on this phenomenon now.

I'm going through this now. I tested positive but my partner hasn't.

I have spoken to track and trace and have been told we are both in isolation till the 6th but stay in if either of us have symptoms.

We have been in 4 days before I had symptoms anyway as track and trace contacted us.

Yes my friends son in law who tested positive works in a care home and they've told him he can't go back for 3 weeks.

There seems to be no consistency as to what people are being told to do.

Some employers are making up their own rules, some are following guidelines (which seem to just be made up anyway, and not the same from one week to another).

Where i live you can get tested if you have symptoms, if you have none you will NOT get a test whoever you have been in contact with.

If you have tested positive and self isolated and shown no further symptoms they will not retest you whatever you are told by your employers, so catch 22 !

I suspect this varies by area, but not sure !

If your employer requires an extra negative test before returning to work, this is not an NHS service and the employer should therefore be paying for a private test. It's a specific employer's policy, not in the Covid regulations anywhere. It's just like if you need the doctor to counter sign a form or write a letter for some reason, you have to pay for that.
