From 19th April he was suffering from fever. Test report shows COVID 19 positive and CRP 12. Fever lasted for 3 days and then became normal. He was having no smell but is now improving. It has been almost 17 days. Does he require RT PCR test or any other test to be done? Can he now live normally? Please advise.

No RT PCR is needed if hes symptom free after 17 days. CRP 12 suggests mild inflammation, which can persist briefly. He can resume normal activities with precautions. Antibody testing is optional, not mandatory.

Take a Covid 19 RTPCR With Home Collection Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test

View allI am 5 months pregnant. Today, my husband and I got RTPCR tests done, my report is negative, and his is positive. I am experiencing symptoms like loss of taste and smell. Should I repeat the test? I also had a previous rapid test, which was negative. What should I do next?

I recently had a bit of fever and a sore throat, so I tested myself for COVID 19 antibodies. Could you please help me understand my test report and advise on what it means? I have attached the report for your reference.

I went to have a COVID test 5 days ago because I had certain symptoms. That day, I was put in a hospital ward with others who had similar symptoms and were admitted after the test. The next day, my test results came back negative. However, I did spend 1 day in that ward. On the discharge slip, doctors advised me to stay in isolation for 10 days, even though my test report was negative. I want to ask if there is a significant chance of getting COVID by staying in a COVID dedicated ward for one day? I wore a surgical mask the whole time. After coming back, I changed my clothes but did not bathe as I was having a fever. Today is the 5th day, and I am a little scared because I read that most patients develop COVID symptoms between days 5 and 10.
