I work for NHS and the guidance here is if still testing positive on day 11 fine to return to work so long as no temperature. We are also advised not to undertake LFT tests for 28 days after testing positive. Likely as you can still be testing positive 90 days after initial infection. |

There was an example cited on news of someone having Covid 4 times with positive tests each time, and having been vaccinated. I think that was it. I'll try and find the news source. Running friend of mine is now using two inhalers a day having had Covid a year ago. She was a 2.56 marathon runner. Not now.

Thanks, so once you've tested positive, there's no real point re-testing on subsequent days?

That was the report news.sky.com 90 days between tests, so definitely unique infections. |

Dibble My understand is that PCR will keep showing positive for up to 90 days. But LFT shows only for up to 10 days. And you can see it get fainter before it disappears. If you got a strong LFT 2 weeks after having the LFTs showing clear, I'd say that was a new infection (presumably a different variant)? |

‘Running friend of mine is now using two inhalers a day having had Covid a year ago. She was a 2.56 marathon runner. Not now’ This sums up perfectly my fear from early on (not that I’ve ever been that class of athlete) |

LFT line is back to solid - last week it had dwindled to nothing. Neither of us have had a temperature amongst our symptoms. |

My OH is testing strongly positive on day 15, after a much fainter line a week ago.

Not sure if this will be of interest to anyone: bbc.co.uk not conclusive by a long way but also unlikely to do any harm if you wanted to give it a try.

have ordered some probiotics - gotta be worth a try hopefully it will even out energy levels Had a bad nights sleep night before last but felt "OK" yesterday. Did 30mins swimming and that was me for the day, didn't even hear my alarm this morning,. My new garmin calculates your "body battery" which I thought was tosh before I got it ... last night it said I was at about 15% so maybe there is something to it. I wish I had it precovid to compare though! |
