Mother tested negative for covid-19

2021-05-06 11:03:48
My mother tested positive for covid-19 almost a week ago. I tested her again for covid-19 on the fifth day  after she contracted the virus, and the test came negative. I took her to nearby hospital to seek the opinion of general physician, he performed the RAT test and test results came negative again, but he told me that she should continue to remain in home isolation for few more days. I want to know precisely, for how many days should she remain in home isolation after testing negative for covid-19?

Home isolation for 14 days from the day of covid positive reporting. Do not need to repeat rtpcr after isolation over. Negative report is not needed to break isolation
