Depends how vulnerable you are, same as any infection. If your body can handle it then carry on almost as normal. Covid when i had it was more mild than your average cold... I got symptoms (sore throat) Thursday or Friday, did a 10k race on the Sunday, placed 4th, didn't feel any slower than usual. For 2 or 3 days after that I felt a bit more tired, perhaps brought on by the exertion from the race, who knows. I was racing again by the next weekend; felt fine again.
Tested positive on a rapid just now. Light red line. Should I workout or just take it easy the next few days? No real symptoms yet.
If you hadn't taken the test, would you have any indication that you were "sick"? If not, then why should you change your training? Have you considered that the test results might be wrong?

A virus so serious you need to take a test to know you have it

Carmine9, 100% wears a mask while driving and standing in their front yard. There are literally hundreds of non-life threatening viruses you can test for. That being said, you're an idiot.

Just be careful. COVID can be insidious. If you decide to train, maybe wear a heartrate monitor to ensure you're not overexerting. A few easy days is generally better than setting yourself back weeks because you overstressed your body.
I’d keep it to easy runs the next few days. I had normal flu like symptoms and ran fairly hard 3 days in. I felt a little worse the next couple of days. Back to 100% within a week.

Talk to your doctor and don't listen to a dunce like Carmine for medical advice. For that matter, don't follow the medical advice of anyone on these forums.
I was positive after seeing my mom who eventually died from covid. I was mostly asymptomatic for the first few days. On day 3 I had extreme dizziness and could not get out of bed without puking. It was almost like vertigo. I had some mild congestion to go along with it. I never had any issues breathing. I hydrated like crazy later that day and took dimenhydrinate and diphenhydramine (Benadryl) for the dizziness. Many don't know but Benadryl is a great drug for dizziness and nausea. If the benadryl hadn't decreased the nausea, I thought I was going to need to get a script for promethazine. The congestion lasted about a week and the dizziness was intermittent for a few days. I ended up taking about a week and half off from any exercise and eased back into it. That was about 5 weeks ago and I feel like I'm close to where I was before that.
My sister and brother were also near my mom before she died and they also ended up being positive. My sister was totally asymptomatic. She is also a runner. She basically just went on long walks and mild hikes on the trails neaer her house. She eased back into running after about a week and seems to be fine. My brother really doesn't exercise, is a smoker, and is also doing fine.

I took 3 rapids a few hours apart. All were super light positives.
Got back from a massive 3 day festival, so knew it was almost 100% chance I got it so preemptively tested 3-4 days after.

Then you were not asymptomatic by definition.
That guy was way way sicker from Covid than anyone I known of have heard of since Omicron arrived
