[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is this 90 day no PCR policy?  It doesn't make sense.  [/quote]

[i]Patients who have recovered from COVID-19 can continue to have detectable SARS-CoV-2 RNA in upper respiratory specimens for up to 3 months after illness onset. However, replication-competent virus has not been reliably recovered and infectiousness is unlikely.[/i][/quote]

Can you find where this preliminary data has changed CDC guidelines?  It is not clear that the people who still had detectable RNA were not symptomatic.

I know this seems off-topic, but I think it is relevant for people who may chose to opt-out of testing because of previous infection.[/quote]

Ok, I found it!  "For all others, a test-based strategy is no longer recommended except to discontinue isolation or precautions earlier than would occur under the symptom-based strategy." [/quote]

Thanks!  I’ll definitely opt out of testing for my kid who already had Covid recently. [/quote]
