In the last few days the government have announced that from Tuesday, 11^th January, as a temporary measure, positive lateral flow device (LFD) tests will no longer need to book a confirmatory PCR test where there are no symptoms. The advice states that in this circumstance anyone who tests positive on a LFD test must self isolate for 10 days but will be able to leave self-isolation 7 days after the date of their initial positive test if they receive 2 negative LFD results, 24 hours apart, on days 6 and 7.
