A member asked:
After quarantining for 14 days after you tested positive do you need to retest again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: After you have been free of fever for three days and it is past 14 days after the positive test, there is no medical necessity for a test. Test may be positive due to non-viable virus in respiratory mucosa. Wish you good health!
