These are the official guidelines:

CDC Newsroom

Press releases, advisories, telebriefings, transcripts and archives.

Essentially she should isolate for 5 days, but wear a mask around others for 10 days. Those who are exposed, but have not tested positive should wear a mask for 10 days as well.

Thank you for your time my friend. I was aware of the official guidelines. I am seeking people to react to my desire to stop wearing gloves and a mask in my own home. Since she's had no coughing(today which is Day 3) and no fever since yesterday (Day 2)...is my approach to as her caretaker REALLY necessary tomorrow on Day 4? As long as I am never in the same room as her...starting tomorrow is that good enough from anyone's personal experience? Clearly the guidelines say "no". It's too soon for me to relax. Yet does anyone feel the guidelines err on the side of caution and my 20 year old who seems fine on Day 3 might be someone who can just stay in her room and her DAD can stop wearing rubber gloves as he washes her dishes?

I regret that I posted my question. @PUSH GAVE the PROPER ANSWER... but it wasn't the answer I was seeking 😂

Oh well. I'll just have to continue to do the proper thing tomorrow even if my gut tells me it is more than is necessary.

Happy Saturday everyone! I'm seeking some posters here who will be my sounding board re. when I can relax my cautious approach in my home w/ my recovering tested-positive-for-covid daughter. My 20 year old daughter had a fever and a cough Thursday. She woke up Friday morning and the fever was gone and it never returned. Even so, early that morning she went to the clinic and got tested. She tested positive. Since Thurs. night she has been quarantined in her room. I bring her meals to her...I set it outside her door. When she is done eating I come to the outside of her door wearing a mask and rubber gloves. I grab the tray with my gloved hands and keep the gloves on as I wash her dirty dishes.
Starting tomorrow....which will be Day 4, do you think I can ease my cautionary approach? She isn't coughing anymore and fever free.
Please share your thoughts on my 20 year old daughter and also on my role as well. Thank you!

Did they give you any sort of restrictions when she tested positive? Here, we are given a letter telling us what we need to do and how long. Here, if a person has been vaccinated, they only need to quarantine for 5 days from the day they tested. When we got it, my son stayed in his room and only came out to get food or to go to school, etc. We did not wear gloves when washing dishes or preparing food and he never got it. All three of us had it, but staying in his room was apparently sufficient.

If it makes you feel safer, do what you feel best doing. Were you around her at all before she was tested? If so, have you been tested yourself? Remember there's an incubation period before symptoms show up. My daughter had it for several days before I started to feel anything, and I had it for a few days before my husband started feeling anything. You may have already caught it, so I'd say get tested to be sure. Here the rule is they must be symptom free for 24 hours after having been in quarantine for at least five days before they can get out. And all housemates should be tested 5 days after their last exposure to the person infected. But I don't know what the recommendations are for your area. If she's symptom free, then I'd say it's probably ok after day 5 or so. I still wore a mask everywhere for a few weeks after I got out of quarantine, just to be on the safe side. But that's up to you what you feel comfortable with.

Oh, and just to add, we couldn't go to the grocery store to get food, so we did order a lot of meals in and our son also ate in his room. He had no contact with us other than to come get his food, and unfortunately it wasn't the healthiest food because we didn't have access to fresh ingredients to cook. But there were no rubber gloves or anything when we were handing off meals or dishes. Rather than US isolating in the house, since we all had it, HE was the one who isolated. He mostly does that anyway as he has his gaming computer in his bedroom, so that was the easiest way to keep us from infecting him and also that he had things to keep him occupied outside of school hours. But we shared a bathroom and everything and he never caught it. I'd say the gloves are probably unnecessary as long as you don't touch your face after handling the dishes and stuff until you've washed your hands...and if you are washing her dishes by hand, you've just washed your hands. Do you share a bathroom with her? If you do, you may want to wipe it down with disinfectant every day.

I’m not asking your/her vaccination status merely passing along info I heard. There was a study that determined if you are vaxxed and boosted and test positive you will only be contagious to others for 3-4 days but if you are not you can be contagious 7-10 days.

I would have appreciated the opportunity to err on the side of caution.

Ski tested positive, promptly coughed on all of us, multiple times, some of it intentional; and bingo, bango, bongo … we all had it.

If it’s not too onerous and makes you feel better, keep doing what you’re doing, but the 100% truth is that she was the most contagious before she ever even tested positive. Once you test positive, you’ve been viral shedding for days. If you’d been eating, talking, watching tv with her in the days leading up to her getting sick, you’ve already been exposed. That’s why this Omicron variant spreads so quickly.

On the plus side, your own symptoms may be so mild that you won’t even notice … hence the isolation rule. (Here it’s 5 days if fully vaccinated, 10 if you’re not. Your country may be different.)

Sorry for what you went thru at that time. Thanks for sharing the additional info as well 😉

Excellent news. Hopefully you’ve managed to dodge catching it!

Fingers crossed, you didn't catch the virus. Hubs had it about 4 weeks ago, and remarkably -- I never caught it. Doesn't mean I'm immune, as I could catch it from another source, at another time in the future. But I am vaxxed and double boostered, so there's that, which I figure probably helped.

Very smart to think that way. E sat next to 3 different people on different days for at least an hour each, all of whom tested positive the day after she sat next to them (2 of them for several hours) and she didn't get it. Each time, she tested every day and it came back negative. Then we went to the zoo and walked around and we weren't next to anyone for more than a couple of minutes, and she caught it. It's very irratic...no rhyme or reason to it, really. Why that moment and not when she was exposed for such lengthy times? And why did she catch it and I didn't? We were together the whole time, both of us were vaxxed, though minors couldn't get boostered at that point so I was boostered and she wasn't. But I ended up catching it from her anyway.
