Was positive test also a home test?

CDC guidelines are don't test if vaxxed and no symptoms. Fwiw

Negative test day before was home test. Positive test next day was by a clinic. Home test hours after clinic test was also positive. Scratchy throat + known contact + seeing 85 year old grandmother soon was reason for testing.

If I'm sick, I don't go around my 85 year old grandmother at all. I don't need a test to tell me that's a bad idea. And a negative test would not tell me it's a good idea.

Is the 85 year old grandmother vaxxed?

Then there's nothing to worry about.

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm...but no, you don't want to expose an 85 year old, vaxxed or not, to someone with COVID.
If you're asymptomatic are you capable of infecting others?Salute The Marines said:
The OP said she was asymptomatic. If we keep treating people who simply test positive as a "case" or that the are "sick" then this will never end.
And my guess is that an antigen test is more likely to be negative in the pre-symptomatic period. I remember in the good old days the rule was, no fever - no problem.NTXAg10 said:
There has been no verifiable evidence produced(that I know of) that suggests asymptomatic spread is a thing.

If you are sick, don't be around people. If you aren't sick, then do life as normal. This worked for approximately 1928474 years before this so not sure why it doesn't all of a sudden work now

Completely agree. People going to work with a fever (especially in good service) are just being *******s.
Stay home.
Why? Have a cold, stay home. No symptoms, live on.GAC06 said:
He said no symptoms then he said "scratchy throat". Makes perfect sense to get tested.

Op, you/your daughter absolutely made the right decision. It's ridiculous that anyone else says otherwise.
Regarding quarantine, we don't have a good answer for those that are vaccinated. However we know that the vaccinated generally have shorter courses of illness, and therefore clear the virus faster from their body. In an unvaccinated person, the absolute longest they are infectious to others is a little over 9 days - so quarantine period was set at 10 days.
For someone who is vaccinated, I don't have a perfect answer, but I would imagine 7 days would be sufficient although potentially even as short as 5. The average time to clearance of the virus is about 5.5 days.
If she was truly asymptomatic, then count her first positive test as time = 0. If she had any symptoms, I'd call that time = 0.
