COVID-19 remains a concern for many, as it has since the pandemic began, but in recent months, a positive sign has emerged regarding a key virus measurement.
If you receive a positive COVID test result, CDC guidance states that you should stay home for at least five days and isolate from others in your residence. You are likely most infectious during these first five days.If you had symptoms, however, you can only end isolation after day 5 if:If you still have a fever or your other symptoms have not improved, continue to isolate until they do, the guidelines state. How severe your symptoms are can also play a role.
If you had moderate illness - such as shortness of breath or difficulty breathing - or severe illness, including hospitalization due to COVID-19, or if you have a weakened immune system, you need to isolate through day 10. Anyone who experienced severe illness, or has a weakened immune system, will want to consult your doctor before ending isolation as you may need a viral test to do so."You should continue wearing a mask and wait at least 48 hours before taking another test," the CDC recommends."Continue taking antigen tests at least 48 hours apart until you have two sequential negative results. This may mean you need to continue wearing a mask and testing beyond day 10.
If your symptoms worsen or return after you end isolation, you'll need to restart your isolation at day 0, per the guidelines.
