very very simply
From exposure day you may develop COVID and become infectious at any point in the next 14 days.
From when symptoms develop and you are tested as positive you only remain infectious for up to ten days and have been symptom free for three.
So diagnosed day 1, symptoms for a week. Three day buffer. Out on day 10 (that’s 7+3)
The reason why they don’t test on exit to date is that you can still test positive for weeks but you are no longer infectious. Won’t achieve much - but might with the variants.
Thanks for the reply.
I only returned about a month ago but until then at least, nobody was tested in the hotel until day 10 at the earliest. Provided negative, out on day 14.
How do you go about getting tested on Day 1?
Don’t tell me- had a cough and sniffles while filling in the BF form?
Check with your 11 yo would you?
