How many days do you have to stay home from work if you have covid 19?

I got tested positive earlier this morning which sucks and I have the symptoms.
I heard it’s five days but I wanna make sure so I don’t get fired from my job. Sunday through Thursday is five days so I could go to work on Friday. Right? What if I start to feel better and still have covid like say by Wednesday or Thursday?

It varies from person to person. When I got Covid 19 I tested daily with the home test kit and finally tested negative 10-11 days after day zero. HR let me come back after I sent work a picture of the results. Employers are different, some let you come back after only 5 days or so after the fever goes away, some 10 days. Talk to your manager.
