Per CDC guidelines, 5 day quarantine may be lifted if fever-free >24hrs. I would wear a mask around your father for the next 1 week.

An alternative action would be to do a COVID test daily once absent symptoms. Also Listerine mouthwashes & lavage posterior nasal regions w. Netti pot of dilute Providine lavage 3x/day (antiviral); only with Dr. approval. Delay visit until COVID test is negative, est. 7-14 days (after the first 5 days). Wear an N95 mask. Vitamin D 10,000 units per day with doctor approval until normal.
