Am I still contagious or not even though it will be more than 10 days?

Question

Hello, I tested positive for COVID on April 11. It has been 10 days. I still have a cough, but am I still contagious? I am supposed to see some friends this Saturday and I want to make sure they don't catch it. I want to make sure they don't get it. Thank you.

Thank you for your question! I invite you to consult this link from the Quebec government for the latest recommendations. Please note that you could still be contagious after 10 days, but to a lesser extent. The maximum of 10 days of isolation is if you have noticed an improvement of your symptoms after the first 5 days, and if you are adequately vaccinated It is recommended to have a negative test if you are not vaccinated before returning to activities. I hope this was helpful to you and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
