How long to quarantine in Germany if postiive Covid test before return flight to US

I can't find an answer to this question altho' I've checked on these (suggested) sites: https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/en/coronavirus/2317268 and https://www.rki.de/DE/Content/InfAZ/N/Neuartiges_Coronavirus/Transport/Archiv_Risikogebiete/Risikogebiete_aktuell_en.pdf?__blob=publicationFile

Does one quarantine until testing negative or "10 days" or "2 weeks"?

I'm not going till Sept. but would like specific info.

Thank you.

If you go to the Covid forum under Tips and Trip Reports, there is a lot of information about Covid.

I went to this site from UK government
https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/germany/coronavirus#:~:text=Testing%20positive%20for%20COVID%2D19,those%20who%20are%20fully%20vaccinated.
This is what is said:
Testing positive for COVID-19 in Germany
Anyone testing positive with a Point of Care (PoC) antigen test is required to take a follow-up PCR test immediately and to self-isolate. Close contacts are also required to self-isolate, although exceptions may apply for those who are fully vaccinated.

In the event of a positive PoC test, the test provider is required to notify the local health office (Gesundheitsamt), which is responsible for monitoring self-isolation and will provide further guidance in individual cases. You can find your local health office by postcode here.

Individuals testing positive must self-isolate in their home or where they are staying locally, or in another appropriate location enabling self-isolation. They may only leave their home and interrupt self-isolation to carry out the PCR test. Germany does not operate a system of managed quarantine in government facilities.

Mandatory self-isolation ceases after 5 days. The German authorities recommend staying in self-isolation until you test negative with a rapid-antigen test.
