My granddaughter lives with me and has been in contact with someone who has tested positive for covid. if i send her for a test after 5 days of isolation and the test is negative would it be safe to take her out of isolation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID 19: The test result is more likely to be accurate if it has been 5 to 8 days after contact or it is done after your granddaughter develops symptoms.
