I know my friend who works in care for the elderly, has felt perfectly healthy but has still had to be tested twice over the last few months.
Luckily she has been negative both times.
I thought the isolation was for 14 days isn't it?

I agree.
Perhaps so many people are panicking now and making these huge queues at testing stations, and that is why they are saying now, to only go if you have symptoms.

I really don't know the answer as to what's best.
For key workers you would think they could have a number code or password to allow them to get an immediate test. A relative is a key worker but can't get a test, so has to stay home for 14 days because they can't take a chance.
