TLDR : Answer Summary
If you test positive with an ATK test but have mild or no symptoms, the current guidelines indicate that you should self-isolate at home or in your hotel room. Officially, you may need to inform a hospital, which can then send you home to isolate for 10 days, after which you may need to obtain a clearance certificate. Some recommend retaking an ATK test every other day during your isolation. If after five days you test negative, you can conclude isolation but are advised to wear a mask for an additional five days. If you experience worsening symptoms, such as fever or shortness of breath, seek medical attention.

Self isolate for 5 days. Retake ATK every other day is recommended. If negative after 5 days... then isolation is over but you must wear a mask for a further 5 days is the recommendation. If still negative repeat isolation and seek medical attention. Certainly seek medical attention if systems get worse and/or you run a fever and/or shortness of breath.

Officially you should report to hospital who will sent you home to isolate for 10 days and then go back and get clearance certificate

Officially you should wear a helmet whilst riding a motorbike too. Many don’t seem to bother.

Where are most omicron positive people? Outside doing their daily business. Most people don’t even bother for a test anymore when they have a runny nose, not since millions of people already had omicron and no longer support the whole quarantine/ isolation concept for what is a mild cold or less for most.

Self isolate at home or in your hotel room. No need to go to hospital if you don’t need medical help.

not sure there is an official number. I suspect that once you’ve tested negative then you’re good to go.
