Hi, I Had A Small Cough About 3 Weeks Ago
Question: Hi, I had a small cough about 3 weeks ago and I was informed to self quarantine at home, the cough went away after a week and I had no other symptoms but the cough and since it’s been 3 weeks and I already self quarantined after my recovery I wanted to know how long should I wait til I go back to work ?
Brief Answer:
One more week of quarantine is needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Latest protocol suggest four weeks of quarantine or two weeks after symptoms subsides.
In your case you already completed three weeks or one week post recovery, so it will be better to be in quarantine for one more week.
Hope I have answered your query.
