What is the recommended quarantine period after testing positive for COVID-19? When can you resume normal life?
If you have been diagnosed with COVID-19, you are no longer considered infectious once your fever has stopped even after you are no longer using fever-reducing medications (such as Tylenol), your symptoms have improved, and it has been at least 10 days since your symptoms began. For people who are immunocompromised, it is recommended that you remain in quarantine for 20 days.
