Long time lurker here - thought I’d share this for those in the same position as me.

I tested positive for covid exactly 14 days ago, which threw my Christmas plans into disarray. I was suppose to fly from LHR to YVR on the 19th. Even after my symptoms cleared, I continued to test positive on PCR tests.

I spent many hours searching the web to see if anyone was able to get in using a positive test result, and without much luck. However, I am happy to report that I was able to use my NHS proof of recovery + positive test result to check in exactly 14 days after the positive result.
