At this time I think you're doing fine and doing a good.job of.monitoring yourself. No fever, aches, or excessive weakness. This latest subvariant has been tough on even some young patients. Continue to self isolate. I'd wear a mask around others for 10 days. A nonproductive cough may persist a bit longer even after you test negative in several days.

With a mild cough and clearing up mucus you seem to be trending to recovery. Cough may linger for some time and any sudden worsening should trigger a follow up with your doc. Follow local regulations as far as quarantine and wearing a mask indoors.
