The family got to stay together in the same room since they all tested positive. The quarantine was extended because he kept getting mixed results in daily tests. He needed two negatives separated by at least 24 hours before release. Finally happened last week.

Chappel, a 23-year-old communications specialist, is sharing his experience because he wants to help others avoid getting the virus. His advice - seek medical attention if you feel ill. “You don’t want to wait until it’s too late and the worst-case scenario happens.”
