Description
How long should you remain in isolation if you have symptoms of Covid-19? It depends on who you ask.

To get to the bottom of this apparent disparity, Nicola Davis discusses viral shedding with Dr Charlotte Houldcroft, and asks what the evidence currently tells us about how long we stay infectious for.
