When is someone with Covid-19 considered to have recovered?
There isn’t a single definition of recovery.
According to a team of global health experts at the Meedan Digital Health Lab, a review of Covid-19 recovery guidelines shows that two criteria are common when determining if a patient has recovered: the patient no longer has symptoms and the patient’s test result is negative.
However, the fact that mild symptoms can “persist over long periods of time – weeks to months” complicates determining whether someone has recovered.
