A member asked:
I was diagnosed with strep throat but the symptoms are gone, i live with people in my home so do i need to continue to wear my face mask in my home?

Missing info: Were you treated ? In most cases if you have been started on a penicillin based antibiotic you are not considered contagious after 24 hrs of treatment. I wouldn't run around kissing anyone at that point but casual contact would be fine. I don't recall ever sending a strep patient home with a face mask, its not that contagious.
