Depends if you go to a hospital with a clean zone or not...
If not (and this is quite likely now)- 14 days if asymptomatic.
(all house must isolate for 14)
7 days total if symptomatic and resolution within that time period.
Criteria for more than 7 days of symptoms is more complicated- call 111 if 5-7 days of persitent symptoms, worsening, etc, etc.
Call 999 if significant deterioration.But again- just ask the hospital.

7 days total if symptomatic and resolution within that time period.
This advice is now disputed by some saying 7 days is not enough as we don't know enough about it to be this certain - will try to find a link.
My brother has tested positive having been ill with bad flu symptoms for three weeks. He was finally advised to visit a drop in centre who tested his vitals and told him he didn't have it. This was followed by a call with a doctor who said he most likely did have it followed by test results that confirm it. Think he is relieved to know (and to know he is over the worst) as his mental health was really beginning to suffer. Now shitting it that he has passed it on to elderly parents who were visiting just as he came down with it. Fingers crossed that they are clear - it has been a month today.

If I go to hospital (non covid-19 related) then should I self isolate at home for 7 or 14 days afterwards?
