Q: still have body aches after having covid for 2 weeks, am i still contagious?

: The acute symptoms of Covid include headache, fever, cough, shortness of breath, nausea and diarrhea. There are other symptoms that tend to last longer and are not associated with contagiousness: body aches, fatigue, dizziness, joint pain. If all of your acute symptoms have improved or are gone, you can consider yourself no longer contagious.
