Hi.

My boyfriend tested positive from COVID 4 days after symptom onset (he started having symptoms on Oct 18 but tested positive on Oct 22). He had mild symptoms (loss of taste, cough, sore throat and chills) for like 8 days since onset. He never had fever. Right now it's been 18 days since his symptoms started. The local health department sent him certificate 2 days ago that he already recovered. Right now he only have very mild cough. He says like 1 or 2/10. Other symptoms were gone since like a week ago.

Is it now okay to get intimate like have sex and kiss? Thanks for answering.
