Covid positive
I have been tested positive for Covid-19. As I am asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic, I am under home isolation for 14 days. I don't have any serious issues like breathing issues. Mild cold and loss of smell is there.
I have few doubts to be clarified by professionals:
1. Post isolation for 14 days, should I get tested for Covid-19 again?
2. If tested negative, still I will be able to transmit virus to people around me?
3. Somebody told me that 30days post isolation I should follow the same protocol as I will be shedding virus. Is it so?
4. When can I kiss my wife who is now pregnant?

Get tested post isolation of 17d from the start of symptoms.
Once negative chances of transmission is very very low to nil.
Use your own toilet and utensils post isolation for a month.
14d post negative you you can kiss her.
