Testinh positive for Covid
Hello, So I started showing symptoms of Covid 2 weeks back and it has been 10 days since I first tested positive for Covid. But even after 10 days, I am still testing positive in Rapid Antigen Test. Is this a case of worry? Should I continue to isolate myself until I become negative or can I go out since I have not had any symptoms for the last 5 days?

No cause for concern if you have no symptoms and are feeling well.

Health Tips
Take the next due dose of the vaccine whenever you are eligible for it.
Do not exert your body too much; this is to prevent post-recovery muscle pain from causing too much discomfort.
Give yourself time to heal fully.
Rest is extremely crucial.
Do not start off with heavy work/workouts.
Rather take it one step at a time.
Pay attention to recover your body gradually.

You don't need to worry. The test can continue to come positive even after 14 days due to the dead virus. Wait until you complete 14 days of isolation from the date of testing positive. Once you have completed 14 days of isolation you can go out.
