There are also some reports (mostly disreputable news outlets so far) that 51 people in South Korea had Covid-19 re-diagnosed after being cleared. Could be related to the effectiveness of immunity, or could just be a failure in testing or waiting out the infection. Probably safe to assume you need to isolate for weeks after the symptoms subside, even if a general stay-at-home order is lifted!
