For other people, the test would be done on day 14 since the beginning of indications. In the event that the outcomes come out negative, they would be released given they have finished 14 days since the beginning of side effects and have not encountered any manifestations throughout the previous three days.

In the wake of being released, they ought not embrace any superfluous travel for seven days.

On the off chance that positive, the test would be rehashed each substitute day. They, as well, have been approached to stay away from all insignificant travel for seven days in the wake of being released.
  • For extreme cases, the test would be led on the fourteenth day since the beginning of side effects if there are no manifestations. In the event that the outcomes are negative, at that point, the patient would be released given it has been 14 days since the beginning of indications.
