Self-isolation guidance
Advice on coronavirus (COVID-19) testing and self-isolation changed on 1 May 2022.
If you are mid-way through a self-isolation period you should follow the revised guidance from 1 May.
If you tested positive you should follow the revised guidance to stay at home for 3 days if you're 18 years and under, or for 5 days if you're over 18 years. Day 1 is the day after you took your test.
If you were identified as a close contact, you should end daily LFD testing on 1 May. You can stop self-isolating if you feel well. If you later develop a temperature or feel unwell with respiratory symptoms, you should follow the revised guidance to stay at home.
