UKHSA said if you are already self-isolating you can carry out a LFD on days 6 and 7.
If you have already passed day 6, you still need to carry out two consecutive LFD tests, 24 hours apart, and get negative results from each before you can stop self-isolating.People who are unvaccinated are still required to self-isolate for 10 days if they get Covid, or a close contact of someone who has the virus.
UK Health Security Agency chief executive Dr Jenny Harries said: “This new guidance will help break chains of transmission and minimise the impact on lives and livelihoods.”“Following advice from our clinical experts we are reducing the self-isolation period from ten days to seven if you test negative for two days running.”to people’s everyday lives."He said: “I think this is a very sensible, balanced and proportionate take.
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme staff would be "on the floor a bit earlier" after catching the virus and having to stay at home.
