“We have seen strange cases where a patient conducts a positive test after the seventh day.
If there are no fever in Covid patients for 72 hours and 7 days have passed from positive testing, it is a convincing sign.
However, as much unknown About Covid dynamics, especially in the background of a new variant, it is safest to continue tight masking.
