Minimum 14 days: People with Covid are contagious starting 24-48 hours before they develop symptoms and up to 14 days after developing symptoms. The CDC recommends that a person with Covid stay in self-isolation for 14 days minimum. A Telemedicine Video Consult can allow the physician to determine whether you are ready to go back to work.
