The most recent guidance says isolate for 5 days, then go back to work if you want to, or optionally take another rapid test and if it's still positive, isolate for another 5 days. The CDC also acknowledges that the virus is transmissible for 10 days after symptom onset. These "shoulds" and "supposed tos" are being thrown out the window. Health care workers in CA can go back to work immediately following a positive test if their symptoms aren't severe and in many cases they're being asked to.
