How long are you contagious for?

[MummaPI]

Just that.
Hubby doing 10 day isolation and keeping out of the way but wondered if he needs to do that for the whole 10 days or is he only contagious for some of that.
I'm so confused!

I was told the most infectious time was when I had a temperature. I am a single parent who was positive and isolating with my child who was negative - he wanted a cuddle - so I asked 2 different track and trace people and both said the temperature thing. Don’t take that as gospel though as god knows we are learning about this virus all the time!

Chou are potentially contagious for 10 days hence the 10 days isolation- it was originally 7days but they increased it to 10 days because some people were still contagious on day 8 or 9 x

He's potentially contagious for the whole 10 days, that's why the isolation period is 10 days.

He's potentially contagious for the whole 10 days but definitely whilst he's symptomatic.

Ok thanks, I thought it was the 10 days but there's such conflicting info.

Some authorities like WHO say people are contagious for 10 days after symptoms resolve? Any ideas?
