Completing the seven days of quarantine does not mean not infecting: if we have symptoms, hOh, we have to remain isolated and the ideal would be to check it with a test before joining usGet into the routine and still be negative, be stricter than ever.
A new study from the National Institute of Infectious Diseases in Japan suggests that between the seventh and ninth days we can be more contagious even than in early infection.
While after the first and second day of having symptoms due to the Omicron variant, only 12.5% can spread the disease, between the seventh and the ninth day, 18.8% can do it.
Can we get back in circulation after seven days of isolation? Joan Caylá, member of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology, assures that “if you no longer have a fever or symptoms for more than a day” you could get into circulation.
The key for epidemiologists is to wait seven days and if then we still have symptoms, The safest thing is to lengthen the confinement. “If you have symptoms, it means that we still have COVID with clinical manifestations, we can infect it and therefore we have to continue to isolate it,” says Caylá.
If after those seven days we have no symptoms, an antigen test can also give us the clue. When in doubt, prudence, distance and mask always on.
