Covid testing ?'s: A positive Covid test with appropriate quarantine (at least 10 days) for you and any contacts, that is followed by loss of taste/smell iis not considered still infectious. Generally, if shortness of breath develops , a physician is necessary for evaluation. It is not certain how long immunity will prevail.

COVID 19 infection : Antibiotics are not needed for COVID 19 infections. Antibiotics are used to treatment bacterial infections and COVID 19 is viral. Sometimes a person may get a secondary infection that is bacterial. Most people don't need to see a doctor if they are doing well overall.
