Love all of your info, thank you!! If an asymptomatic person tests positive by PCR and then 7 days later tests negative by PCR, are they not shedding the virus anymore? My daughter was exposed to someone on that day 7 and she’s been quarantining but I can’t wrap my head around if she’s actually been exposed!
Hmmmm. Do you mean she was exposed to someone the day they tested negative? That sounds reassuring. We don't typically recommend re-testing after a positive since the shedding of virus (and viral particles) might be intermittent after making it difficult to know if it's an active infection or not. Hope that's helpful.
