Where does the scientific evidence say a negative result is useful? Eg Would a negative STD test result prove people would be clear the next day?
In South Korea any positive results were used to do very thorough contact tracing and insist on self-isolation.

This includes enforcing a law that grants the government wide authority to access data: CCTV footage, GPS tracking data from phones and cars, credit card transactions, immigration entry information, and other personal details of people confirmed to have an infectious disease. The authorities can then make some of this public, so anyone who may have been exposed can get themselves - or their friends and family members - tested.

Good luck with trying that in the UK.
