How long do you quarantine after exposure?

The safest thing to do is to quarantine (stay at home, away from others) for 14 days after you have been exposed. This essentially eliminates the risk that you will accidentally spread it to anyone before you have symptoms or if you are the lucky person who has COVID19 with no symptoms. However due to the burden of such a long quarantine, the CDC has offered shorter options based on new data that still minimize the risk of spreading COVID without knowing it but doesn’t eliminate that risk like the 14 day quarantine does.

How long does a MIS C fever last?

It is good to know what to watch for. Kids with MIS-C will typically have fever for more than 24 hours and have evidence of inflammation in many organs including their intestines, heart, brain, lungs, skin, or kidneys.

How long does it take for a symtom to go away?

If symptoms are really mild and go away within 24 hours or it is clearly something not related to an infection (migraine, allergies, etc), we might not have to get any testing done to get them back to school. If symptoms last beyond 24-48 hours we probably will need to order a test to get them back to school.

Is PCR a reliable test?

A rapid antigen test is only trustworthy if it is positive. A negative antigen test usually has to be confirmed with a PCR test because an antigen test isn’t as reliable as a PCR test.

Can you get a false negative test if you don't have symptoms?

A false negative (testing negative even though you have the virus) is more common early in the phase of illness when you don’t have symptoms yet. You can get a negative test done one day and still end up having symptoms and then test positive just days later.

How long after a test is positive can you test positive?

So sure, if you have two tests that are negative you are probably fine. BUT some people will test positive for MONTHS after they had it even though they aren’t contagious. This is why we aren’t recommending testing to clear yourself to be around people. For healthy people, the CDC recommends isolating yourself for 10 days. If you were REALLY sick (breathing tube, ICU, etc) or you are immunocompromised (receiving chemotherapy for cancer for example) they say isolate for 21 days.
