What Should I Do after Recovering from COVID-19?

When your COVID-19 symptoms were at their worst, you may have focused on the basics: rest, hydration, and monitoring yourself to see if your symptoms worsened. ADVANT has seen many of this, and we are going to help you know it.
Now, as your road to recovery becomes clearer, you may want to know what to do next once your symptoms subside. How long will I be contagious? Does this mean I don't have to get vaccinated anymore?

While you are still contagious

Patients with COVID-19 are considered most contagious in the days before symptoms appear (also known as the pre-symptomatic stage) and in the first few days of symptoms. However, it can take several days for a person's immune system to actually clear the virus from the body.
To stay home long enough to make sure you are no longer contagious, be sure to follow the CDC's isolation guidelines. Even if you are asymptomatic or your symptoms are going away and you are feeling better, it is important to complete the quarantine to ensure that you do not spread COVID-19 to others.

Please use a home self-test kit to make sure you have a negative result. This way you can gather with friends without fear of spreading the disease to others.

Some symptoms last for a long time

COVID-19 comes with a long list of symptoms - the most common being fever, dry cough and shortness of breath. The severity and duration of these symptoms varies from person to person, but some are more likely to persist into your recovery period.
You will still need vaccinations or booster boosters, masks and social distance, immunity is complicated and you may still re-infect yourself with COVID-19.
In fact, a recent study found that unvaccinated adults were twice as likely to re-infect COVID-19 as adults who were vaccinated after recovery.

What this means for you

Even after recovering from COVID-19, it is important that you get vaccinated and continue to take precautions to protect yourself and others from the virus, including maintaining social distance, wearing a mask and washing your hands regularly.
We recommend that you always have a nasal swab rapid antigen test in your home or business to determine your daily health status.
For those who have been vaccinated and experienced a breakthrough infection, you will still need to get a COVID booster.

We are all in this together, and we all have a responsibility to ensure the safety of our communities. Each of us needs to take these precautions seriously, whether you are already infected with COVID-19 or not.
