getBusy Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) Yes, especially if you are vaxxed and/or have had it before. But don’t get your hopes up. Edited July 12, 2022 by getBusy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 It's generally acceptable to self-isolate for 5 full days. Test day counts as day 0, so technically you're not safe yet Saturday. Personally I wouldn't go, assuming there's elders present at the family event. It's too risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavi Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) Advices differ per country, but here it's five days of isolation and if you're at least 24 hours without sympyoms by the end of day five, you're free to go. If you tested positive yesterday, you could get out of isolation on Saturday IF you're free of symtpoms for 24 hours by then. Especially if symptoms actually started earlier. In the end all advices just get down to chance, of course: they are there to lower the chance you'll transmit covid, but they're not guarantees. You're not guaranteed to be fully covid-free when you've isolated for five days and are symptom free either, but chances are very very small by then. So if you're gonna go is probably something you and your family should decide on together. Oh, and idk that for sure, but don't tests stay positive for a while, even when you're covid-free? Cause the antibodies are still in your body? It's never been adviced here to keep testing untill you get back a negative result again. A negative test would give extra confirmation, of course, but I don't think it's necessary? Edited July 12, 2022 by pavi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byzantium Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 1) are you vaccinated? 2) do you have any symptoms currently? 3) are the people at the wedding vaccinated? If you answered yes, no, yes, then you are probably fine. I would go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDreamer Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I tested positive the other week on Monday, and I became negative after 6 days. I finished isolation for 7 days. Some people test negative quickly, while I know some that tested positive for 2 weeks. I guess it depends on your immune system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it is Tuesday, if your symptoms fully go away in the next couple of days, you should be fine. The risk of a vaccinated person with no symptoms passing the virus to a vaccinated person is incredibly small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
