Positive Test in Costa Rica
Tested positive on Monday before a Tuesday flight. Costa Rica has a mandatory 7 day quarantine, which pushes our stay through May 29 because day 1 starts when you get your positive test. If I get a certificate of medical recovery on May 30, can I fly home on May 31, or do I need to quarantine for another 3 days, based on CDC guidelines? My symptoms started on May 19, as what I thought were allergies.

I think if you have the positive result and the recovery certificate, the exact dates won't matter to the person checking. They need to see two docs to meet the recovery qualification, and you will have that. I sincerely doubt they will parse the different recovery timelines between US CDC and Costa Rica equivalent agency.
