If you are symptoms free one week after completing a paxlovid course, you should be free at this time.

If you've been absolutely symptom free for a week, I agree you should be OK to visit. However, if I were visiting in an extended care facility rather than a separate apartment, I'd wear a mask for extra measure. As an example, we would restrict you from visiting our cancer center for 3 weeks as a matter of policy.
