If you are diagnosed with covid...how long before you are able to return to work?

Trying to find what everyone else is doing especially in light of the general labor shortage

5 days for us, but that’s in an employment model, so no wiggle room

I think it's 7 for us. I would not be surprised if this gets shortened.

We still do 10 for the day of symptom onset. We were encouraged to get tested on day 5. If still positive, stay home, else get your butt back to work.

2 or 3 days. Symptoms resolving. Wear an n95.

With a positive test must stay home 5 days with or without symptoms, then must PCR retest on day 5. If retest is positive must stay home 5 additional days. If retest is negative and asymptomatic can return to work.

Yes....exactly why many don't test when feeling ill. Staying home until well and following the usual mask protocol on return is sufficient. Between vaccinations (and multiple boosts) and prior infections of *everybody*, treating this like it's 2020 is dumb.

Some people are telling me 5 days and some are telling me 7 based on this quote from cdc- thoughts?

It depends.
Did you take a test?
Are the results of that test viewable by anybody?
In other words, does anybody besides you know about it?
Take-home message: take a home test, or no test at all.
