Hello Ma'am,

Count on one to two days after your symptoms end. It is important not to share the same bathroom with other people in the house while you have symptoms to reduce the risk of contagion.

Good day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist

I worked as a pharmacist in the emergency department of the Granby Hospital for 6 years before dedicating myself to Ask your Pharmacist. I completed my education in telehealth at Jefferson University in Philadelphia and are recently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Informatics at Université de Sherbrooke.
