How long will Prince Charles be in isolation?
Current rules in England mean the Prince will be forced to self-isolate for up to seven days.
Rules state that you can stop self-isolating after seven days providing you take a rapid lateral flow test on day six and seven of your self-isolation period and:
- both of these tests are negative
- the tests were take at least 24 hours apart
- you do not have a high temperature
If you do a rapid lateral flow test on day six and the result is positive, he will wait 24 hours before you take the next test.
