Someone who had severe illness from COVID-19 may take 15-20 days to become non-infectious and will have to stay isolated longer, but even if they test positive after the 20 days they are no longer infectious and can be released from isolation. Arkansas recorded the highest daily increase in the number of deaths due to COVID-19 since early November on Monday while the number of active cases and hospitalizations went down. What this means is that even though someone with mild illness may be shedding the virus and testing positive after 10 days, they are no longer infectious.

However, in this series of patients, it was estimated that 88% and 95% of their specimens no longer yielded replication-competent virus after 10 and 15 days, respectively, following symptom onset.” – CDC
Recovery of replication-competent virus between 10 and 20 days after symptom onset has been documented in some persons with severe COVID-19 that, in some cases, was complicated by immunocompromised state (van Kampen et al., 2020). For patients with mild to moderate COVID-19, replication-competent virus has not been recovered after 10 days following symptom onset (CDC, unpublished data, 2020 Wölfel et al., 2020 Arons et al., 2020 Bullard et al., 2020 Lu et al., 2020 personal communication with Young et al., 2020 Korea CDC, 2020). It also marks the fourth-highest active case number reported in the state. This is the highest number and the first time the state has passed 27,000 active cases since Jan. “The likelihood of recovering replication-competent virus also declines after onset of symptoms. The Arkansas Department of Health reported 585 new active cases Monday, bringing the state’s total to 27,162. For that reason, even if you have already had COVID-19, vaccination is an important step to protect yourself and those around you.ĬOVID-19 is a new virus and as time passes more and more studies are being done to learn about the virus. One study, for example, showed that among people hospitalized with COVID-19, those who were previously infected with COVID-19 were 5 times more likely to get COVID-19 again if they were unvaccinated than people who were fully vaccinated. Hospitalization data is a daily average of Covid-19 patients in hospital service areas that intersect with Boone County, an area which. and that COVID-19 vaccination can provide a higher and more consistent level of immunity from COVID-19 than from infection alone.ĬOVID-19 vaccination is effective in preventing reinfection in people who previously had COVID-19. Data is from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Research shows that immunity in people who have been infected with COVID-19 wanes over time.
The CDC recommends all people age 5 and older get vaccinated against COVID-19, including people who were previously infected with the virus.
