That's the answer to the question that was asked...

@Terry *******

If you "WANT" a certificate of recovery, you "HAVE" to notify the hospital...

Yes, if you test positive you have to notify the public hospital closest to you (there's an online form). They call you a couple times to check how you are and provide meds. After you test negative they'll give you a certificate of recovery that students need and some employers require for missing school/work. I assume you can use it for whatever you want though.

Sounds like a top shelf visa agent you got there.

The IO at the desk could have just told him to go to the desk at the end and get a permit before he stamps him out.

If the immigration officer at the airport was a decent person they should have told him, "your visa will be canceled if you don't go buy a reentry permit." Unfortunately, some people just aren't very nice.

If he left the country and didn't apply for a re-entry permit, his ED visa was canceled. He no longer has an ED visa. He needs to contact his school and start the application process again. That was a big mistake.

Yes, you can transition a visa exempt entry to a Non-O retirement in country.
