That’s not good Pammie1 have you lodged a complaint to the hospital about this? They should review their processes as a result of your experience.
We reported it via the PALS service, who advised that it WAS protocol was to place in isolation after positive LFT, until the result was confirmed by PCR. However, the hospital were very vague in response, kind of excusing it by saying there wasn’t always the facility to isolate.
What really annoyed me though, was that despite being in hospital for three days - plenty of time to notify him of at least one of the negative PCR tests, we only found out that they were negative after he got home - when he got round to checking email on his phone. My neighbour has consulted a solicitor about her husband’s death and investigations are ongoing.
A few weeks afterwards, while we were recovering from Covid, I happened to watch Question Time and a representative from the NHS was implying that people weren’t taking enough precautions and were overwhelming the NHS as a result. If I’d had a brick handy it would have been through the TV !!
