When is a quarantined person considered no longer contagious and can they become reinfected with coronavirus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID: Per Harvard Health Publishing: "people may continue to be infected with the virus and be potentially contagious for many days after they are feeling better. They recommend maintaining precautions until 10 days of complete resolution of your symptoms. REF: https://www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/if-youve-been-exposed-to-the-coronavirus. We aren't positive about re-infection yet.
