Introduction
It is still possible to test positive after completing 14 days of isolation. Novel coronavirus pneumonia is typically a respiratory infectious disease caused by infection with the novel coronavirus. It can spread through the air and via close contact. The incubation period varies among individuals, and in some patients it may last up to 24 days. During treatment, it is important to avoid going out as much as possible and minimize contact with the external environment.
It is still possible to test positive after completing a 14-day quarantine. The specific reasons are as follows:
Novel coronavirus pneumonia is typically a respiratory infectious disease caused by infection with the novel coronavirus. It can spread through the air and close contact. After the human body is infected with the novel coronavirus, there is an incubation period during which the virus may not be present or present at low levels in the respiratory tract. The incubation period varies among individuals, and in some patients it may last up to 24 days. If a patient has a relatively long incubation period, the illness course may be prolonged. Additionally, some patients have weak immune systems; after being infected with the novel coronavirus, they require a longer recovery time and clear the virus slowly, making it likely to test positive for the novel coronavirus even after completing a 14-day isolation period.
During treatment, it is important to avoid going out as much as possible and minimize contact with the external environment and other people. When going out, wear medical surgical masks, disposable medical masks, or N95 masks, avoid physical contact, and maintain a distance of at least 2 meters from others.
