A member asked:
How long after a person has tested positive and isolated can they be around people?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minimum 14 days: People with Covid are contagious starting 24-48 hours before they develop symptoms and can be contagious up to 14 days after developing symptoms. The CDC recommends that a person with Covid stay in self-isolation for 14 days minimum. If symptoms worsen or new ones arise (fever, cough, shortness of breath) then the person should stay isolated longer.
