Rosehip Jul 2021 10:49am, 18 Jul 2021 21,830 posts	0 Rosehip If you get pinged, some people are getting the option of a daily lft but being allowed out rather than isolating unless they test positive. Makes sense, if youve been double jabbed, less likely to catch and less likely to pass on. IF the lft is sufficiently sensitive/accurate AND folks do the test each day, this should work really well as a way forward when all jabbed. Of course there are two big IFs there
