Quick bit: My daughter caught covid-19 late last month and recovered earlier this month. We have plans to travel on 30 August to visit family in the USA. My fear is that during that 72 hour period prior to departure, her test will come back positive since it will have to be the PCR test and it's more sensitive (if im not mistaken).
The question:
Is there any sort of documentation I should get that says she's recovered (letter of recovery?) from covid-19 and is no longer contagious or am I simply going to be stuck until she tests negative?
Longer story (optional to read):
In my household there's 7 people. We're all basically family...I'll spare you the awkward names like my wife's sister-in-law's older sister plus her daughter.... Anyways...someone caught covid-19 in my home. It was odd because she hadn't gone out ever since we started hearing about the delta variant.
Well, the one who caught it was feeling flu symptoms and isolated in her room with her daughter. The reason she isolated with her daughter was because they sleep in the same bed and was highly likely they both have the same thing. We had someone come and test her, result was positive for covid-19. We then tested everyone in the house except for her daughter since we didn't want to be in the same vehicle with her since she was 99% certain to have it. Puskesmas then tells us we are all negative except for my daughter who sleeps in the same bed as me and my wife.
Ugh.
We eventually tested the only one left who hadn't been tested yet, the rapid antigen test came back negative. But we had them do the PCR test as well and she came back positive for that.
My fear now is that my daughter's results might come up as positive even though she's recovered. I guess it would suck if I all of a sudden tested positive as well. I wonder how many people have been in this situation.
If I cant go, i'll change my travel date to visit in December so it's not a total loss at least.
