When to end isolation for covid

2021-05-14 17:10:41
My mother got covid 15 days back but her report still showing positive. Can she come out of isolation or we need to wait until she gets negative. She is not having fever or any other symptoms as she have on initial days. She is free from fever from last 7 days and she is able to regain her smell. Please suggest on isolation.

Hello dear RT-PCR report positive means Viral replication is still happening. Even when the RT-PCR comes negative, we can shed the virus for upto 3-4 days. So it is advised to isolate her till then.
Next Steps
Complete isolation with hydration maintainance.
