14 -21 days from the day of first symptoms. As in your case isolation till anywhere between may 26 to June 2. Depends on your status. If you become symptom free by 14 days you can stop isolation.

10 days form onset of symptoms is considered as adequate isolation period as the virus does not survive for more than 9 days. But to be on a safer side 14 days isolation is adequate. Also if you are fever free for 3 days you can consider yourself as negative
