When to get re tested for covid
How long after being infected with COVID-19 can I be around others again?
You can be around others after:
● 10 days since symptoms first appeared and
● 24 hours with no fever without the use of fever-reducing medications and
● Other symptoms of COVID-19 are improving*
*Loss of taste and smell may persist for weeks or months after recovery and need not delay the end of isolation

People who have recovered from COVID-19 can continue to test positive for up to 3 months after their infection.

Are recovered persons with persistent positive test of COVID-19 infectious to others?
Persons who have tested persistently or recurrently positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA have, in some cases, had their signs and symptoms of COVID-19 improve. When viral isolation in tissue culture has been attempted in such persons in South Korea and the United States, live virus has not been isolated. There is no evidence to date that clinically recovered persons with persistent or recurrent detection of viral RNA have transmitted SARS-CoV-2 to others.
Despite these observations, it’s not possible to conclude that all persons with persistent or recurrent detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA are no longer infectious. There is no firm evidence that the antibodies that develop in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection are protective. If these antibodies are protective, it’s not known what antibody levels are needed to protect against reinfection.
Can patients who have recovered from COVID-19 continue to have detectable SARS-CoV-2 RNA in upper respiratory specimens?
How long should I stay in home isolation if I have COVID-19?
When should you start and end quarantine per the CDC’s recommendation during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Can you still have detectable SARS-CoV-2 RNA after recovering from COVID-19?
What does a negative SARS-CoV-2 antibody test mean?
A negative result on a SARS-CoV-2 antibody test means antibodies to the virus were not detected in your sample. It could mean:
• You have not been infected with COVID-19 previously.
• You had COVID-19 in the past but you did not develop or have not yet developed detectable antibodies.
What should a person who recovered from COVID-19 do when they are exposed to it again, according to the CDC?
The following applies to a person who has clinically recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infection that was confirmed with a viral diagnostic test and then, within 3 months since the date of symptom onset of the previous illness episode (or date of positive viral diagnostic test if the person never experienced symptoms), is identified as a contact of a new case. If the person remains asymptomatic since the new exposure, then they do not need to be retested for SARS-CoV-2 and do not need to be quarantined. However, if the person experiences new symptoms consistent with COVID-19 and an evaluation fails to identify a diagnosis other than SARS-CoV-2 infection (e.g., influenza), then repeat viral diagnostic testing may be warranted, in consultation with an infectious disease specialist and public health authorities for isolation guidance.
Should I get the COVID-19 vaccine if I have recovered from COVID-19?

Who is not eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine?
Who can get Moderna booster?
19, all US adults — those age 18 and older — are eligible to get a booster shot of the COVID-19 vaccine. They qualify if it’s been at least six months since they’ve received their second dose of either the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine.
