Should I still isolate myself after a positive test? Is it ok to do my own shopping (with a mask) or should I call someone? Do I still wait for a negative test or simply to be free of symptoms? Since people around me don’t really talk about Covid anymore and my country doesn’t have any guidelines in place, I’d be interested in your takes. I don’t wanna be a d*ck to others but would also rather not overshoot and lock myself up at home for two weeks like in the early days. (I hope this doesn’t count as asking for medical advice.)

Edit: Thanks y’all. Guess I just needed to hear that even though everyone has been talking of “after Covid”, the situation hasn’t fundamentally changed despite our lives having normalized. I’ll be cancelling plans and staying home.

    People forget that some can not get vaccinated even if they want to, like myself. But I also do my best to avoid people in general so… But do what you can to avoid the public as much as possible when you are sick, regardless of COVID or just a cold.

      And those of us who are high risk are likely to be hospitalized even if we are vaccinated. Please don’t send me to the hospital.
