“How many days in quarantine following contracting COVID?” In the case of patients who were hospitalized or quarantined in hospitals, who had recovered, they returned to live at home, condos, but were disgusted by those around them. Because many people still have misunderstandings. In terms of transmission and quarantine, what should be done? Prevent the infection from spreading once more by Dr. Thanee Thaniyawan or Tany Thaniyavarn, MD Lecturer specializing in pulmonary disease, critical therapy and lung transplantation from USA has posted an educational clip in Youtube Doctor Tany’s channel that the quarantine of those infected with COVID If the symptoms are not severe, self-quarantine for only 10 days, starting from the first day of symptoms, following 10 days can lead a normal life. can no longer infect regardless of whether the symptoms are present
“Generally, COVID will have early symptoms After that it will start to get better. in people with mild symptoms No oxygen needed and all symptoms started to improve already in the last 24 hours. No antipyretic drugs needed. Well, no fever at all. After 10 days, it’s not contagious anymore. You don’t have to detain yourself. But for people who have a lot of symptoms Requires high-dose oxygen to enter the ICU. This group must self-isolate for 20 days from the first day of symptoms.
and in a special group is group taking immunosuppressant drugs or have an autoimmune disease The doctor had to repeat the examination. RT-PCR to see if it can spread the infection once more or not The criteria used by the hospital are if checking RT-PCR Two times, 24 hours apart, had a CT (Cycle Threshold) greater than 30, both times this was not spread. Even though it’s still positive But it’s just the remnants of an infectious disease that can’t be transmitted.
Dr. Thanee states that, in general, everyone in the family or people living together Vaccination should be complete. Because people who have just recently disappeared may not have much trouble. Because the immune defense once morest infection still exists. But if the landscape of people living together not yet vaccinated or may have been infected somewhere, it can be especially if there are more than 1 person in the household, for example:
“I was, then I recovered. Completed 10 days of quarantine in the hospital and returned home. I didn’t spread it at that time. Even though I have a cough with snot But if there are 3-4 people in my family who have not been vaccinated. If one of them gets stuck And I also went to eat. I may be fine, but 3-4 people together. if a person is infected have a chance to get caught because he has no immunity.”
