Brief Answer:
Stay isolated
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
You may have to count the day of first symptom as the first day of infection.
keep distance with family members for 14 days counting from 6th.
In case there are elders above 60 years in your house , keep them away from you for one more week.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
Stay isolated

Every member in my family has been affected with covid in some or other degree. Like children had symptoms like fever, but that dissappeared in few days, so basically they are symptoms free for 2 weeks now. To the XXXXXXX only one children showed antibody this week during the blood test, the other didn't.
Same goes with my mother who has symptoms for covid until this week, she had first symptom on 2nd Sep.. Today we will conduct her antibody again. She feels fine but has issues with oxygen level as the ct scan revealed pneumonia. But overall she is getting day by day.
To sum up, we all got affected in the family and now feeling very normal. The isolation challenge is taking the toll now.

Brief Answer:
14 days

Hi,
Thanks for writing back.
I would still recommend you to complete self isolation for the said time.
Sometimes even presence of antibodies do not confer immunity and there can be re- infection, especially in kids
