My husband and me are both positive for Covid. I kept coughing last night so I was trying to sleep sitting up but I find that almost impossible. I feel better being upright so I got out of bed. It's weird as I felt so ill Saturday (but not with typical Covid symptoms) and then fine for a few days and then suddenly ill again with a cough and temperature. I have to look at the rules about Covid as I keep getting confused with how long you have to stay away from people now.
So sorry to hear this. I hope you get through it without it being too bad.
This is what I found from the CDC:
“Stay home for at least 5 days
Stay home for 5 days and
isolate from others in your home.
Wear a well-fitted mask if you must be around others in your home.
Do not travel.
Ending isolation if you had symptoms
End isolation after 5 full days if you are fever-free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medication) and your symptoms are improving.
Ending isolation if you did NOT have symptoms
End isolation after at least 5 full days after your positive test.
If you were severely ill with COVID-19 or are immunocompromised
You should isolate for at least 10 days.
Consult your doctor before ending isolation.
Take precautions until day 10
Wear a mask
Wear a well-fitted mask for 10 full days any time you are around others inside your home or in public. Do not go to places where you are unable to wear a mask.
Do not travel
Do not travel until a full 10 days after your symptoms started or the date your positive test was taken if you had no symptoms.
Avoid being around people who are at high risk”
In my mind, the most important thing would be to at least wear a mask once you start going out again. I think one of the hardest things to discern is at what point we are no longer shedding the virus.
Anyway, we test weekly and had no one positive the last couple weeks
I really can’t imagine. I haven’t been anywhere.
