If you are still sick, stay home until you are well and for 24 hours after you no longer have symptoms.
You do not need to wait for an official message to leave isolation. You may receive a text message confirming your isolation period has ended.
Your Household Contacts can complete their isolation at the same time as you, as long as their Day 7 test was negative and they have no new or worsening symptoms. If their tests are positive, they need to begin 7 days of isolation as someone with COVID-19.

You do not need a negative RAT result to return to work or school. If you did take a RAT, the result would likely show as positive but that does not mean you are infectious.
