Local issue: In the USA the CDC has cited the infectious period lasts 7-10 days. Return to public activities after that point is considered adequate. Local health agency/workplace requirements in your country may differ. Contact a local health agency for this information.

See below: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Please contact your doctor by phone for further evaluation and mechanism for testing in your area. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. Be sure to get tested, if you get symptoms. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
