COVID retesting
Its been 14 days since my brother tested positive for COVID. His vitals are normal from last 5 days and only issue he has is that of mild cough with phlegm and reduced sense of smell which has not yet recovered. He is feeling healthy and active. So should we stop his isolation without a retest or should we go for a retest.
Also if yes is it the right time to go for retesting and can we now meet him and interact with him normally or still need to follow preacautions ?

Period of spreading infection to others is already over as he was in isolation for 2 weeks. U can do retest ,rapid ag test if u want, but not necessary. U can meet him , but its good to maintain social distance if he is still having cough. For further info u can contact me.
