Hello. Yesterday I started to feel bad with a fever runny nose cough. I was going to the doctor and he gave me a test and I have covid. He ordered to be 7 days in isolation. After this time, will I no longer have the virus in me? And will I be able to go out?

At the moment, it is considered that a person with COVID-19 is still contagious for a few days after the symptoms have subsided. This time depends, m.in, on the severity of the symptoms of the disease. To find out when you stop shedding the virus from your body, you can take one of the antigen tests available at online or brick-and-mortar pharmacies.
I am attaching links to websites where you can compare the prices of this type of products in online pharmacies and order them with pickup at the pharmacy or home delivery:

Currently, in the case of confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection, it is recommended that the patient self-isolate. From 28.03.2022, there are no top-down regulations ordering isolation. This means that if necessary, you can leave. I only encourage you to observe the rules of all caution (such as a protective mask, hand disinfection and distance from other people). At the moment, it is considered that a person with COVID-19 becomes infected a few days after the symptoms disappear. This time depends, m.in, on the severity of the symptoms of the disease. In order to check when you stop excreting the virus from the body, you can perform one of the antigen tests available in online pharmacies or stationary pharmacies: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jaki-test-antygenowy-na-koronawirusa-wybrac I encourage you to read an additional opinion on a similar topic: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/69280/test-covid-19-jak-dlugo-osoba-z-koronawirusem-zaraza-innych
