Covid: You're definitely not ready to consider returning to circulation, but more importantly your symptoms indicate lung complications that usually occur during the second week and require emergency examination and may likely need hospital level treatment, the sooner the better.

COVID 19: Not everyone recovers quickly from COVID 19. It sounds like you are still quite symptomatic and so returning to work could be premature. Recommend a post- COVID medical follow up consult. Get urgent care for difficulty breathing, blue lips or face, persistent significant chest pain/ pressure or new onset confusion.
