British Airways and a positive covid test

How long do you have to wait after a positive covid test before flying back to the US? I’ve checked the BA website and the travel forum, but I haven’t found an answer. Is it 5 or 10 days?
Thanks everyone :)

It's 10 days. You can either test again hoping for a negative test or get a Certificate of Recovery.

Frank, thanks for the info. I got my second booster yesterday, and I’ll arrive in London in 2 weeks. I’ll be masking up and fingers crossed my test will be negative.

This is smart. Immunity is very high in the few weeks right after a booster.
