Right now, 7 people have recovered from the coronavirus in Mauritius. I do not know yet whether an official definition of recovery has been shared by the authorities to the population of Mauritius but, until I get this information, here is a definition from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the US. The CDC defines recovery from the coronavirus for those who will not have a test as such:
- You have had no fever for at least 72 hours (that is three full days of no fever without the use medicine that reduces fevers) AND
- Other symptoms have improved (for example, when your cough or shortness of breath have improved) AND
- At least 7 days have passed since your symptoms first appeared.
For those who will have a test, the definition for recovery changes:
- You no longer have a fever (without the use medicine that reduces fevers) AND
- Other symptoms have improved (for example, when your cough or shortness of breath have improved) AND
- You received two negative tests in a row, 24 hours apart.
Look out for fever.
