So my understanding is if you go for a PCR test lets say 6 weeks after having COVID it will still produce a "positive result" even though you are not infectious. A) How can you travel if its in your system? B) is there a way around this issue?
Double vaccinated helps a bit as well as a statement that you’ve had the bug. Some take a previously infected person, but as they are finding it doesn’t guarantee immunity.
