Thank you.
For the child who tested positive, there have been no symptoms for 2+ weeks, and they started testing negative on the antigen tests 10 days ago. For the adult, it's complicated, as she's been testing negative on multiple antigen tests over the past 10 days also, but she has also developed cold or allergy symptoms within the past few days. Still testing negative on the antigen tests though.
Given the PCR tests are readily available and free, we might as well just start doing them on a trial basis and keep the antigen testing as a backup.
