Can I Go To Work While My Mom Is Home Sick With Covid?

Question: i had covid 5 months ago and my mom just was diagnosed with covid. She has had it for 5 days. I have been isolating in my room. I also work 2 jobs. Since I had it my bosses are saying it’s okay for me to work since I most likely can’t be re infected. I would rather listen to medical professionals..Can I go to work while my mom is home sick with covid? Or do I quarantine with her?
Brief Answer:
Not likely to get reinfected.
Detailed Answer:
Hello ,
According to the recent studies the reinfections with sars cov 2 , covid19, are very low almost 0 following the first 6 months after infection.
Also persons who have had covid19 in the last 6 months are not likely to transmit it to others.
You can go to work and not stay in quarantine.
To be sure continue with social distancing and self protection and isolation at home.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
