Stop isolation in care home once test shows negative

The Issue

When a person is in a Care home and they have to go for an appointment at the doctors or hospital they have to be isolated to there room for 14 Days!
Even tho they have a Covid test every Friday in the home? So for example my mum when to hospital they isolated her for 14 days to her tiny room she was going stir crazy. They then let her out so she could go in the gardens and enjoy her meals in the dining room. After three days she then went to a hospital appointment which could of been done over the phone! Then on her return was isolated back to her room she has had a test which has come back negative and still has another 7 days left! this means she will have been isolated for 28 days. This is inhuman this is wrong and this needs to be changed!!!  once the person returns to there room and isolated, after 7 days if they test negative they should be aloud out into the communal area and the dining room and the gardens  this is cruel this is the law and Borris Johnson Matt Hancock and Dominic Cummings need to change this for our older generation please help me get this to parliament and sign Thankyou  this has happened to my mum and millions of other Elderly people!!
