For patients with severe illness, duration of isolation for up to 20 days after symptom onset may be warranted. For persons who never develop symptoms, isolation and other precautions can be discontinued 10 days after the date of their first positive RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 RNA

See below: If have been free of fever for 24 hours, without taking any fever medicine, it is safe for you to resume your usual activities. There is no need to retest. Non-viable viral nucleic acid may be present in your system for weeks after recovery, without you being able to transmit the infection. Wish you good health!
