[quote=Anonymous]OP, I live in NYC, too, funny we're both on a DC forum.  I think our nanny caught covid-19, too.  We didn't think so at the time, but an updated list of symptoms came out and her husband's symptoms were on it.  Because we thought that nanny DIDN'T have it, we had her come two weeks after her symptoms (which were really mild, just a mild cough) resolved.  Had we thought she had it, we would have made her wait at least a month if not longer.

I have also heard of people testing positive again after symptoms have cleared up and negative tests, but so far, none of these people have been shown to have reinfected anyone and their virus loads have generally been very low, which means the contagion risk is lower.  Of course, the data pool is REALLY limited and studies ongoing so you have to take it FWIW.

I think you have to way the benefits and risks and do what's right for your family.  We have a young baby so we need to be more careful than others, but... we live in NYC, which is the greatest risk of all.  If we were in a different area, we probably wouldn't have nanny come back until who knows when, but living in NYC, we expose ourselves every time we go grocery shopping so it would feel silly to limit our exposure to one person who is fully recovered.  In any case, good luck making your decision.[/quote]
