You can test positive for up to 90 days or even longer they say.

I was told they wouldn’t retest for the same reason!

Well, my aunt tested positive for it on 10/29 and finally tested negative on 11/22. She had mild symptoms but she’s high risk due to asthma. So it’s not just that couple of weeks, it could be 3 weeks to a few months and it all depends on the person and level of infection.

Yikes 90 days really? I tested positive 2 weeks ago and I quarantined for 2 weeks. I went again today to get tested because I want to see if it’s negative. I guess it won’t be. I work from home so I don’t need a negative test but I wanted to do it since I have to take my kids to and from school. A friend of mine had it and it took her 6 weeks to test negative but she had pneumonia.

Yes this is true, all my kids and me and my husband all have had Covid. We were told we did not have to be tested again for negative because it can give you a positive up to 90 days. My husbands job didn’t require him to retest he just had to quarantine for 14 days which lasted a month of quarantine because every time one of the kids got sick our quarantine time got pushed back even further (my oldest got sick first, then my youngest, then my middle son then my husband then me) but he did his quarantine and they made sure he had absolutely no more symptoms before returning back to work.

Thank you ladies, I’m not sure if his boss have any symptoms but his wife who also got tested with him was negative however she’s back in the office Coughing Non-stop. Ohhhh & they don’t wear Mask! I’m just so over this !

Our playbook at work requires us to retest negative before returning. Our health department says you have to be symptom free for 24 hours before retesting.
I believe the CDC is going to change the quarantine time from 14 days to 7-10.
I think each place of employment has their own rules and regulations no one really knows what to do.
I would hope if they are still sick they would stay home even if their time is up.

If he isn’t having any more symptoms then the quarantine ends after 10 days from the onset of symptoms. He does not need to be tested again. Not sure about the continuation of testing positive, but if he’s not having any symptoms then his quarantine is over.

I think retesting depends on the company. I did read you can test positive weeks after your 14 days are up though.

We never had it here but the people I do know who had it none of them had to be retested. I think it’s weird my sister had it and her boyfriend didn’t have to get tested they told him stay home a week and then he could go back to work and he worked at a grocery store 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Thats what the health department told me too! That there wasn't any need to retest as I could be positive for 90 days.
