Covid-19 isolation

2020-11-10 22:05:27
I had Covid-19. And I have been in isolation since last 14 days. Now my symptoms have diminished. I didn't have fever since last 7  days, I am breathing just fine, only symptom that I have right now is a little cough. When can I end my isolation period? And do I have to get a test first?
