A member asked:

If two people in the same residence are tested positive, do they have to be isolated or quarantined separately?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No: Assuming both are positive for the same virus strain, there is no need for separate isolation

Dr Singh and another doctor agreed

COVID 19: Agree with Dr. Omar. If two individuals test positive for COVID 19, it is pretty much assumed that it is the same strain so they can isolate together.
