Covid positive day 10 please help

Has anyone still tested positive for covid on day 10 I’m in such a panic about it.

Yup, had covid twice and both times I was still testing positive about 2 weeks later. I just stopped testing after that so to be honest I don't know how long it went on for.

After the latest one I was due to go back to work and was still positive, I told the doctor my company uses this, and she said it's extremely common and they actually don't recommend testing after 10 days as you are likely not infectious at all.

PS Just to add I felt 100% fine while still testing positive!

Thank you makes me feel a bit better I’ve still got a cold and no smell and taste,but my anxiety is so high

Seems like 10 days is relatively normal from what I understand. When my wife had COVID, she tested positive for around two weeks, long after all of her symptoms were gone. Don't worry!

Thank you so much do I still have to isolate after 10 days though too?

No you don't.

Testing positive for 10 days or more is completely normal. I was still testing positive after 10 days so I just stopped testing.

Thank you I just don’t want to give it to anyone

I think I was still getting a faint line on the rapid test at day 14 even though I felt fine. Sometimes it just takes a little while to clear all the virus.

I think I was positive for 2wks with a strong red line even on day 10. You can test positive for a month.

Just remember, even though you may feel better there will be residual virus material in your nose.
