(a)notify P or, where paragraph 10(4) applies, Y by email, letter, or text message, of the result of P's test; or

(b)make P's test result available to P, or where paragraph 10(4) applies, to Y via a secure web portal,

in accordance with sub-paragraph (3).

(3) The notification of P's test result must include P's name, date of birth, passport number, or travel document reference number (as appropriate), the name and contact details of the test provider and P's test reference number, and must be conveyed using one of the following forms of words, as appropriate—

[F253Form A: negative test result

Your coronavirus (COVID-19) test result is negative. You did not have the virus when the test was done.

You are not required to quarantine or take a day 8 test if you are travelling from a country not on the red list and meet the requirements of being an ‘eligible traveller’.

If you are travelling from a country not on the red list and are not an ‘eligible traveller’, if you took the test on or before day 2 of your quarantine period, you must continue to quarantine until you have completed the 10 day quarantine period and received a negative result for a test taken on day 8. If you took the test on day 8, you may stop quarantining when you have completed your 10 day quarantine period.

You should self-isolate again if you get symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) – get an NHS coronavirus (COVID-19) test from https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test and self-isolate until you get the results.

For advice on when you might need to self-isolate and what to do, go to https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/ and read ‘Self-isolation and treating symptoms’.

Form B: positive test result

Your coronavirus test result is positive. You had the virus when the test was done.

If you received a positive test result for the test taken you do not need to take any further tests.

You may be contacted for contact tracing and to check that you, and those who you live or are travelling with, are self-isolating.

You must not travel, including to leave the UK, during self-isolation.

Contact 111 if you need medical help. In an emergency dial 999.

Form C: unclear test result

Your coronavirus test result is unclear. It is not possible to say if you had the virus when the test was done.

You must take another test or self-isolate for 10 days from the day after your test date.

You may be contacted to check that you are self-isolating.]

[F254Form D: suspected positive result with Omicron variant

Your coronavirus test result is positive. You are therefore required to self-isolate for 10 full days after the date on which you first developed symptoms or, if you did not have symptoms, the date on which you took the test.

Your positive COVID test has been identified as a suspected Omicron variant.

You will be contacted shortly by NHS Test and Trace to obtain details of your household and close contacts, and to confirm your self-isolation period. Your household and close contacts will be required to self-isolate for 10 days, regardless of age and vaccination status.

You must not travel, including to leave the UK, during self-isolation.

Contact 111 if you need medical help. In an emergency dial 999.]
