Even "PCR testing" done at certain times will be "negative". Respiratory effects of COVID-19 are sometimes persistent, with so-called "long term" consequences of chronic shortness or breath on exertion. These COVID symptoms are at this point poorly understood, and duration is unpredictable. Recent studies show reinfection is possible although rare in the short run. Vaccine effect: unknown.

Predicting future events with incomplete clinical data is always hazardous. A reasonable approach would be to review the history, physical findings and the lab data.
