  positive result— 
  
  (a) the following do not apply in relation to P— 
  
  (i) regulation 9(11)(a) or, as the case may be, paragraph 13(1)(a) of Schedule 11 
  (leaving self-isolation to travel in order to leave England), 
  
  (ii) subject to sub-paragraph (2), regulation 2A (requirements on person notified of 
  
  positive test) of the Self-Isolation Regulations; and 
  
  (b) P and, subject to sub-paragraph (3), any person who is self-isolating with P must continue 
  to self-isolate in accordance with the relevant self-isolation provisions until the end of the 
  10th day after the day P undertook the test. 
  
  (2) Regulation 2A of the Self-Isolation Regulations continues to apply to a person within 
  
  regulation 5(1)(a), (c), (d), (e), (2) and (6). 
  
  (3) Where a person (“B”) is self-isolating with P pursuant to the relevant self-isolation 
  provisions, the requirement to self-isolate under sub-paragraph (1)(b) does not apply to B where— 
  
  (a) the test referred to in sub-paragraph (1) is P’s day 8 test; and 
  
  (b) B undertook a day 2 test that generated a positive result. 
  
  (4) Subject to paragraph 4, where P’s day 2 test and day 8 test both generate a negative result, P 
  must continue to self-isolate in accordance with the relevant self-isolation provisions until the later 
  of— 
  
  (a) the end of the default self-isolation period; 
  (b) the day on which P receives the result of their day 8 test. 
  
  (5) Where a mandatory test undertaken by P generates an inconclusive result P must continue to 
  
  self-isolate in accordance with the relevant self-isolation provisions— 
  (a) until the end of the 10th day after the day P undertook the test; 
  (b) where P undertakes a test to which sub-paragraph (7) applies and the test generates a 
  
  negative result, until the later of— 
  (i) the end of the default self-isolation period, 
  (ii) the day on which P receives the negative result; or 
  
  (c) where P undertakes a test to which sub-paragraph (7) applies and the test generates a 
  positive result, until the end of the 10th day after the day P undertook the test. 
  
  (6) Where sub-paragraph (5)(c) applies, P is not required to undertake a day 8 test in accordance 
  
  with regulation 6. 
  
  (7) This sub-paragraph applies to— 
  
  (a) a day 8 test; 
  (b) a test— 
  
  (i) complying with the requirements for a day 8 test specified in paragraphs 8 and 9 
  (other than the requirement in paragraph 9(1)(e) that the test be administered or 
  provided to P no earlier than the end of the seventh day after the day on which P 
  arrived in England), 
  
  (ii) undertaken in the circumstances specified in paragraph 10 (other than the 
  
  circumstances in paragraph 10(2) about when a test must be undertaken), and 
  
  (iii) undertaken during the period specified in sub-paragraph (5)(a).
