119 told us very clearly that without the ability to do another PCR test, a positive LFT should be taken as that and you should isolate.
This isn't the advice online from the NHS. They say you can continue to test positive for weeks after you've caught it and after you're no longer contagious. Barring showing "hard" symptoms (fever, not cough) you're very unlikely to be contagious after 10 days and are free.
I'm free tomorrow.
More from NHS:
You can stop self-isolating after the 10 days if either:
you do not have any symptoms
you just have a cough or changes to your sense of smell or taste – these can last for weeks after the infection has gone
When to keep self-isolating after 10 days
If you have a high temperature after the 10 days, or are feeling unwell, keep self-isolating and seek medical advice.

Unless you have new symptoms you aren't supposed to take an LFT for 90 days. Although you said you were symptom clear for a short while?

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. The advice to take the LFT result as a +ve confirmation was given when new symptoms occured within 90 days of the original positive PCR. In this case above it was stated 'felt shit again', but I think it's such a short passage of time it's unlikely to be two separate infections (?)
