They don’t know, but I was following Carl Goldman and he was still testing positive after the 14 days. They don’t know if he was still contagious or what.
That CDC link is a good one, but primarily you should be following your doctor/community health recommendations. We don't have precise info on contagion yet so some areas are making different recommendations based on population risk.
For those interested, here's the most current study I've seen, but it's a very small sample size, and has not yet been peer-reviewed. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.05.20030502v1
