People infected with COVID-19 are thought to be capable of transmitting it to others from about two days before symptom onset until roughly 7–10 days afterward.

I think this is something you should consult a doctor about rather than ask here.

A quack doctor sheltering from the rain in a park said that you can infect people before symptoms appear, but once symptoms start, you can’t infect anyone else—so it’s fine to have close contact while you have COVID.
Apparently, I hear he’s a University of Tokyo medical student.

I think it’s best to refrain for two or three weeks.
After an infection, your stamina may not be back, and it wouldn’t be pleasant if you started coughing during the encounter. I’ve heard that it can also make it harder to get an erection—is that just a rumor?
If you’ve both been infected, then as 茉莉花様 said, go ahead if you’re feeling well enough. Just please don’t push yourselves to the point of discomfort.

I believe the isolation period was 10 days from the day you were infected. If you haven’t had a fever of 37.5°C (99.5°F) or higher without fever-reducing medication during the last three days, your isolation is over, so you can have close contact after that.
During the isolation period, you answer a health questionnaire via LINE. One of the options asks, “Do you have any of the following symptoms?” and includes “I feel different from usual.” Since you have COVID, of course you feel different from usual, so if you select “Yes,” the public health center will call you immediately.
“Is something wrong? Are you okay?”
“No, not really…”
After that, the atmosphere is basically, “Don’t call an ambulance when you’re not having an emergency.” But you’re in isolation, so obviously things aren’t “usual”—that perfectly reasonable argument doesn’t get you anywhere. It’s a trick question, so even if you feel like today is a little unusual and refreshingly different, please answer “No.”
From the middle onward, the questions come one after another: “It’s hard to stay awake,” “You’ve had ongoing vomiting or nausea,” “You’ve had ongoing diarrhea,” “You can’t taste anything,” “You can’t smell anything,” “You can’t eat.” Just reading them can make you feel sick, but stay strong and have the courage to keep answering “No.”
Once you start recovering, you’ll have more energy and be able to answer while saying things like, “Seriously, how much worse can it get? lol” and “This is pretty bad, right? lol.” (Since you’re in isolation, you’ll start talking to yourself more.)
Take care.

> If both of you are infected, then as long as you feel well enough, I don’t see why you can’t do it whenever you want.
Very good—Good!

If you’re both infected, I don’t see why you couldn’t do it whenever you feel well enough.
If the other person isn’t infected, I’d say starting the day after your 10-day isolation period ends.

If it’s expected to heal within a week, you’ll probably take about two weeks off, I guess.
