If both tests are negative, you can stop self-isolating.
The first test must be taken no earlier than day 6.

You can spread coronavirus without having any symptoms.
Even though you feel well you could be spreading the virus onto other people.
Stay at home this Easter Weekend. 🐣
Only go outside for food, health reasons or work (but only if you cannot work from home) 🏡
