COVID-19 Positive x2: Data on COVID-19 is limited, but other coronaviruses have never been observed to have viral reactivation. For individuals who test positive twice it is more likely that either the virus never left their system or that the test is picking up remnants of inactive viral particles. It could also be a false positive test. Isolation recommended for 10 days after symptom onset AND 3 days symptom free.

Non-viable virus: A person may test positive for viral nucleic acid for up to 6 weeks following recovery due to presence of non-viable virus in the respiratory mucosa. There is no reason to retest once some has been free of fever for 3 or more days. Wish you good health!
