Q: after a positive covid test and a 5 day waiting period if you still test positive and have lingering symptoms do you need to start another 5 - 7 days of isolation?

: After 10 days you are no longer considered a host even you are still symptomatic at that time. In most cases, you do not need isolation 7 days after you had the first symptom of infection.
