Also, live-in girlfriend has managed not to catch it from me so far. She has tested negative three times to date. If, at some point, she does get covid would I be required to quarantine again? Or will I no longer be a potential carrier since I have had it and recovered?

Here is how our local health departments are handling it-
Lingering dry cough shouldn't be an issue as long as you have had
no other symptoms for 5 consecutive days.
Your GF should be able to return to work given a negative test after 7 days from your last symptoms (dry cough not included in this case) or 10 days without a test. The 14 day standard no longer applies unless you WANT to do it.
We have had employees with a cough for weeks after recovery.
