COVID-19 Recovery: COVID-19 patients may discontinue isolation if at least 10 days have passed since symptoms first appeared (or positive test if asymptomatic) AND at least 24 hours with no fever without fever-reducing medication AND improvement of symptoms. Alternatively may stop isolation if no fever, respiratory symptoms have improved, and two negative test results in a row, at least 24 hours apart.

Testing not needed: If you have been free or fever for 3 days, you can return to work, without needing to be tested for the virus. Non-viable virus persist for up to 6 weeks after illness. Wish you good health!
