Since your partner tested negative after isolating for 10 days, it is generally safe to resume living together. However, it's important to ensure she's fully recovered and free of any lingering symptoms. If you're still concerned, it's always a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

I'm getting a bit worried about my brother's health. After a month of recovering from COVID, his LDH test shows a value of 282. I'm not sure if this is within the normal range. His CRP and D-Dimer results have come back normal, though. Should we be concerned about the LDH level, or is this something that can happen post-COVID?
