That surprises me they were advised that LG- everything I’ve seen her is pretty clear only to get tested if you have symptoms

As I understand it, we are only supposed to get tested if we have symptoms. It's self-isolation for contact with anyone who tests positive.

That in itself is a problem if you come out of isolation only to have contact with another positive person!

It also just seems a bit pointless. If they’ve had a close contact and they really think they might have it, a negative test doesn’t change anything and they should still be isolating. If it’s not actually thought they could have it, seems a real waste of a test.

I suppose if you test positive then people you’ve seen in the period between the contact and the warning can also know they’re at risk

No close contact intact no contact at all as they never even saw the person so pointless as far as I’m concerned but I never sent them for the test!
