…. not recorded as covid (apparently). I thought a positive PCR would be automatically classed as a covid case (I believe no retesting is done to establish any false positives anyway)?
Background: I was speaking to a friend who after some LF negative tests had a very faint LF positive test, and then had a PCR positive test. However, Test and Protect (Scotland), when they were in touch, told him that he was not considered to have or had covid given he didn’t have any of the three symptoms officially listed; particularly lack of high temp and fever was mentioned. His symptoms were more like a bad head cold, without any high temp/fever or loss of taste/smell, he had told them. He is though required to isolate for 10 days starting from his PCR test.
It seems to me (and him) to be a strange decision to be told you haven’t had covid in the circumstances.
