I cannot give an educated comment on any activity during the initial infection, however my guess would be no activity and plenty of rest as your body fights the virus. Following the initial infection activity ranges between professional physical therapy to leading an active lifestyle. I have been advised to be active 3-5 days out of the week, both with light exercise such as walking for a longer duration or intense exercise for about 10-15 minutes.

Very strict balance of rest and activities
Listen to body when it protests

My body interprets activity as torture, but I try to do as much as I can then rest

Well as far as doing excersise, I feel it is up to the individual and symptoms. I have trouble doing much of any kind of excersise.
