HOW MANY DAYS IS THE QUARANTINE PERIOD?
Close contacts who do not show symptoms can also terminate the quarantine after the PCR test is confirmed to be negative at the end of day 7, but the quarantine process cannot be terminated before Day 7 for whatever reason in close contacts. Working people 8. he can start work a day, but for those who work in public living areas and where there are high-risk people, this period is planned to be more than 7 days.

EVEN THE SPOUSES OF COVID-POSITIVE PATIENTS CAN BE NEGATIVE
Even if one of the household’s tests comes back positive, the tests of other people or people in the same house can come back negative, and interestingly, this can be seen even among spouses. This may be due to a strong immune system of a negative individual, a lack of close contact with a positive individual, or a low viral load on the individual with whom he came into contact. Of course, even if you are negative, you must apply the 10-day quarantine process, since you are close to the positive quarantine process at home. In some cases, individuals who come out negative are also likely to be positive even days later, which varies depending on the incubation period of the virus and your immune system.
