If you're told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace or the NHS Covid-19 app you must self-isolate immediately. The self-isolation period includes the day you were last in contact with the person who tested positive and the next 10 full days.
If you get any symptoms of Covid-19 then you must take a PCR test while you are self-isolating. Anyone you live with must also self-isolate until you’ve been tested and received your result.
