Have you recently experienced a bout of COVID-19, but are still testing positive despite following federal recommendations for isolation and masking? With the quickly-spreading BA.5 subvariant expanding, people may be receiving positive test results even longer than with other subvariants.
If you get a positive test result after the isolation and mask-use period, does that mean you're still contagious? Under the current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, people who test positive for COVID-19 are advised to isolate for five days, when a person is said to be the most contagious. After that, if their symptoms have improved, they can leave home, but must partake in strict mask use for an additional five days.
According to Dr. Allison Arwady, the commissioner of the Chicago Department of Public Health, the risk of spreading COVID drops significantly after Day 10, including for those who have lingering symptoms.
