ride when you feel well enough but don't overdo it.
Really wise advice this. Rushing back to sport post Covid is really no fun. If there is one theme I've noticed from people successfully regaining lost fitness it's listening to your body and taking things real easy at first.

I think it applies irrespective of illness. I have had a fairly heavy chest infection for a week and felt well enough to do my Weds group ride this week. Big mistake, been in bed at 8pm the last two nights as I've been on my arse as my body responded very badly to so much exercise. Feeling better today but avoiding much more than a long walk until I feel like things are semi-normal.

You've got time. Don't rush back into it, I eased myself back into riding after catching it and within a week to ten days felt well enough to up the length and duration of rides, so ride when you feel well enough but don't overdo it.
