Hello! found out my mother was taking paxlovid incorrectly for covid. she was taking 1 pill in the am and evening, and not all 3. its day 6 now and she is 100% better, and went to work. she ok to not take the rest? still infectious? no symptoms?

If she has no symptoms, then she doesn’t need to take the rest of the medicine. She is on day 6 so in most circumstances, if the person has no symptoms, they can return to work. Depending on her risk factors, she may want to wear a mask at work for the next few days. Frequent hand washing is also a good idea. Glad she feels better!
