Day 10/test: Your employer and workplace policies should be reviewed. There are cases of COVID 19 which present with no or few symptoms. A PCR nasal swab test may be performed at day 10. After contact the typical incubation period is 2-5 days, but there may be symptoms as late as 14-21 days. The vast majority of patients develop symptoms within 10 days though and a negative test at day 10 is assuring.

Stay in Quaratine!: You could still be infected with COVID 19- please continue to quarantine. You can leave quarantine earlier if you remain asymptomatic and have a negative COVID 19 test result.

See below: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Contact your doctor/local hospital, by phone for evaluation and testing in your area. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Get Covid vaccine. Wish you good health.
