what are the current guidelines if you ATK test positive, mild/no symptoms?
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.
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.
