Virtual visits: This is a difficult time period for your family. Try to arrange virtual visits so that the other members are safe during the incubation period. If you are test negative on day 14, continue to maintain distance but you may have contact in the same room, six feet apart. All the best for his recovery.

No need to retest: If you have been free of fever for a day, without use of medication, you do not need to retest. Wish you and your husband good health!
