[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CDC says to return to normal activity 24 hours after fever subsides or symptoms get better and then mask for 5 more days. My kid had a fever on Sunday. Felt fine and was fever free on Monday. We sent her to school Tuesday and Weds and didn’t bother testing. Her mom felt sick today and decided to test. She was positive so we tested our kid (who has now been symptom and fever-free since Monday) and there was a faint positive line. I feel badly that I didn’t test her earlier—we got out of the routine of testing over a year ago. Anyway, should I send her in a mask even though she’s gone without a mask is and likely not contagious? Should I keep her home? [/quote] The rapid, home test can stay positive for quite a while, long after the person is no longer contagious. That's why a test is used to diagnose, but a different metric -- absence of fever for 24 hrs. -- is used for the end of isolating. [/quote]
