I had fever, body ache and loss of smell and taste for first five days. I wasn't tested earlier but my father tested positive and due to close contact I also assumed I was positive for covid.

infective period for covid 19 is upto 28 days after first showing the symptoms in my opinion for the saftey of your family members you should be isolated for 2 weeks further

in addition you should have two consective negative /non detected PCR for covid 19

don't end. u need to complete the full 15days incubation period. then retest twice one week apart. to confirm ur negative.

General Practitioner in Karachi - Dr. Maheen Altaf

Have you tested +ve?
If yes then go for test after 15 days. End isolation only if two results are negative. If you have self isolated yourself then also go for test to be sure that you will not spread it in community.

yes u can end isolation after completing 14 days

General Practitioner in Karachi - Dr. Shaima Amjad

hello. it's always advisable to go for a test before going out of isolation.

General Practitioner in Gujranwala - Dr. Muhammad Ussama

You can end your isolation, Don't worry about loss of sense of smell it will automatically redevelop after 15-20 days, Improve you diet and vitamin intake especially vit C,D,E and zinc. After 2 weeks get you antibodies checked. if they are positive, better donate your plasma.
