Pune: Health experts say that people who come out of quarantine seven days must have recovered from covid mild or asymptomatic must continue to use masks because the risk of transmission in some recovery categories may not be zero.
According to central guidelines, minor cases treated at Covid care facilities or under house isolation can be issued after at least seven days have passed from positive testing and without fever for three consecutive days.
No need to test before going out.
Dr.
Sanjay Pujari, a member of the National Covid Task Force, said, “Most transmissions occur during the pre-symptomatic period or symptomatic onset of one to three days.
During a period of time, during recovery, infection of the patient’s descendants.
Symptoms of recovery or reduced.
With a variant very transmitting like omicron, which has caused a mild infection in most, a person must weigh out of work vs.
very small risks to spill infection viruses and help transmissions.
For this reason, one must continue to cover and follow the appropriate behavior of Covid even at Outside a seven-day period.
“The infectious disease of the Parikshit Prayag expert, from the Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital said,” Some people may have a transmission window longer for a period of seven days, especially if symptoms such as fixed fever.
And while symptoms such as cough or fatigue can take place For some time.
Infection has been detached An, they cannot be considered as signs of active virus replication.
“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.
“Dr.
Vinetea Bal, Immunologist at Iiser, Pune said,” Opportunities for advanced transmission from covid patients without symptoms are tend to be minimal after seven days of symptom onset .
But there may be an outlier, which means the fraction of individuals in a population who may still test positive after the isolation period of seven days.
So masking even after a period of isolation is complete, it will be very important.
