Is Omicron still contagious after it turns negative?



Omicron is generally not contagious when it turns negative.

Omicron receives a valid nucleic acid test, and if it is determined to be negative, it will not be contagious; however, it cannot be ruled out that after some patients have been cured, the phenomenon of viral nucleic acid re-positive occurs; therefore, after patients with neoconjunctivitis have been treated and have reached the clinical criteria for cure, they generally need to be centrally quarantined for two weeks, as well as quarantined at home for two weeks on their own.

During the quarantine period, they need to receive two nucleic acid re-tests, and if they are both negative, then they can be diagnosed as cured; as long as the nucleic acid test exceeds four weeks, and there is no re-positive situation, it indicates that the patient has been cured.

In addition, Omicron has a relatively large infectious, so usually must do a good job of related protection, more medical health knowledge, should consult a physician guidance, if you feel unwell, please consult a doctor in time.
