A member asked:
Can you confirm that after fever is gone for 72 hours, people are no longer contagious and can't spread coronavirus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID 19: 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.
