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

About a month ago, I had a throat infection that lasted for 25 days. My doctor said it was a viral infection and did not recommend any tests. After I recovered, I decided to do a COVID antibody test on my own. The report shows IgG negative but total antibodies positive. I am now feeling fine. Does this mean I had a COVID infection, or can other viral infections also show total antibodies positive? Was my doctor wrong in diagnosing it as a non COVID viral infection?

Since this afternoon, I have developed cough and mild cold, and by evening, a sore throat with the urge to clear my throat. I do not have fever, body pain, or weakness. I visited my general physician, who said it is likely viral. However, I recently came into close contact with someone who had a cold, although they are fine now. Do I need to get tested? Please advise. I am fully vaccinated and have previously recovered from COVID19.
