answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2022 answer text <p>Updated guidance was issued on 24 February 2022, which is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-people-with-covid-19-and-their-contacts/covid-19-people-with-covid-19-and-their-contacts" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-people-with-covid-19-and-their-contacts/covid-19-people-with-covid-19-and-their-contacts</a></p><p>Those with any of the main symptoms of COVID-19 or a positive test result are advised to stay at home and avoid contact with other people. Positive lateral flow device tests within 90 days of a previous infection can be indicative of a possible reinfection, including with the Omicron variant. Those who have previously received a positive COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test result, are advised not to take another PCR test within 90 days of this result, unless they develop new symptoms of COVID-19. It is possible for PCR tests to remain positive for some time after the period of active COVID-19 infection.</p> answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup question first answered 08/03/2022 16:12:16 answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup previous answer version 42858 answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup
