I was diagnosed with covid-19 on 20 december. i had symptoms from the 16th. should i test for covid again after 10 days from first symptoms on the 26th. or a few days after? i want to be sure that i am covid free before i socialise again.

Covid-19: The 3 conditions mandated by the US CDC for resumption of social contact in non hospitalized Covid positive patients are as follows: 10 days have passed since the symptoms began and the patient has had no fever for 24 hours without using fever reducing meds, and the other symptoms are all resolving. It is not known when the test reverts to negative since that is typically not done.

Retest: I would wait 14 days from the onset of symptoms as well as with no symptoms for 3 days to retest. Continue masking and social distancing when you begin circulating.
