Question: Is it true you can test positive for covid for 90 days?

No, it is not true that you can test positive for covid for 90 days. The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that “the detectable virus period is typically around 10 days and rarely longer than 20 days”. This is based on studies showing that after the onset of symptoms, “the amount of virus in the body (viral load) starts decreasing starting from day 8 or 9 post symptom onset” which is roughly 10-14 days after initial exposure. In rare cases, viral shedding can occur for up to 20 days after symptoms have developed, but this has only been seen in a small number of patients.
