You CAN get positive tests well after infection. But it is mind bogglingly unlikely. If it happened regularly, there would be posts all over this forum. I had a positive test over Christmas and 5 days later I took my fit to fly PCR test and it was negative. And I was pretty sick on days 1, 2 and 3. Can’t guarantee she’ll be negative, but there’s a good chance. And a way better chance than still giving positive result after 60 days. So maybe wait until your day before test comes back before cancelling anything.
