Should I still isolate myself after a positive test? Is it ok to do my own shopping (with a mask) or should I call someone? Do I still wait for a negative test or simply to be free of symptoms? Since people around me don’t really talk about Covid anymore and my country doesn’t have any guidelines in place, I’d be interested in your takes. I don’t wanna be a d*ck to others but would also rather not overshoot and lock myself up at home for two weeks like in the early days. (I hope this doesn’t count as asking for medical advice.)
Edit: Thanks y’all. Guess I just needed to hear that even though everyone has been talking of “after Covid”, the situation hasn’t fundamentally changed despite our lives having normalized. I’ll be cancelling plans and staying home.
If you get sick with ANY infectious disease you should stay home and isolate. End of.
One of the silver linings of covid is that this has become the norm. I remember how much I used to be shamed for staying home with minor infections, now if anything the opposite is the case.
This. I can’t get half my employees to follow this. Feel like they got to come in or will let people down. Drives me nuts. At minimum give me noticed and I will try and work you alone somewhere if you feel you must work.
As said, if you’re sick, stay home. If everyone did this, there would be far fewer colds and flu and less chances of some new COVID like strain.
