A member asked:
Is the isolation period for a positive covid case counted from the day of start of symptoms? how many days should the isolation be and when will i no longer be contagious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Covid: You will need to self isolate for at least 10-14 days. This is from the start of symptoms. As long as you recover well after the 10-14 days you are considered Covid recovered. You still have to wear mask, wash hands etc...

I tested positive for Covid last week and today is the last day of my isolation period. However, Ive had an extremely bad headache since yesterday. Sharp stabbing pain on the left side of my head near my temple. Takes my breath away when it happens. Neither Advil nor Tylenol have seemed to work for it. What should I do? Headache?
