my guess is that would be most likely as all the isolation material I keep getting sent repeats the '10 days following your first day of symptoms' and if it seems to add up tot he 10 days that'd be the only and most sensible explanation I suspect.
the taste/smell this is the only fun bit, I found.....although novelty wore off. Taste/smell completely went (as in 100%) very quickly indeed - gargling TCP and I couldn't even taste it.....thankfully, 6 days after it disappeared it's starting to return, taste first, still no smell. I'd estimate it at 25%ish - ie I can sense sweet, spice, citrus, salt etc. I'm on day 7 now - apart from a hacking cough and inhibited taste and zero smell, the symptoms and the feeling of feeling 'really'ill' have gone although feeling absolutely knackered and washed out is very much apparent. All the best for a speedy recovery

nope, i did lateral flow at home towards maybe the tail end of the ill phase as I lost sense of smell and taste then, it was positive, then putting that code in the App it told me to book PCR, I booked and did it the same day, next day that came in positive.
When I was positive with lateral flow app told me to isolate for 10 days from the time of the test.
But when PCR came in positive I had to fill quite a long test and trace form where I had to tell when symptoms began etc so MAYBE they calculated from the symptoms began date?
I called 119 to confirm and they told me to ignore the app.
