Hello ma'am, if she has been tested positive it might take quite some time to test negative. Even if she is follow all rules, still being positive she will be stopped at airport. To test as negative is something that varies from person to person, but mostly a month.
Hope this will be helpful to you. For further queries consult me here in practo or on my private number 8895_9099_75 anytime

Depends from person to person, initial viral load, exposure to viral load.
Not much she can do to be sure to get a covid negative report.
But in my experience regular betadine gargles and steam help with cleaning upper airways.
There is a higher chance she ll test negative if she tests after 19th provided she takes all foresaid precautions.
Hopefully she gets better and can catch her flight
