On day 6 after infection, I did an RTPCR test. Today is day 10, and my report has come back with a Ct value of 22/25. I do not have any significant symptoms now, and my sense of smell and taste are normal. Should I be concerned about this Ct value?

CT value less than 25 suggests high viral load but absence of symptoms is reassuring. Isolate for 10 days total or as per local guidelines.

View allI was tested for COVID 19 on the 3rd and 7th day after coming in contact with a COVID positive person. Both tests were negative, although I had a bad sore throat at the time. On the 10th day, I experienced reduced sense of smell and a fever of 99.4 degrees F in the afternoon. I started following a COVID protocol, and today is my 13th day. I no longer have a sore throat, but sometimes I still get a fever of 99.4 degrees F. When should I test again, and how long will it take for me to fully recover?

I and my family tested positive 5 days ago and we got admitted in the hospital the same day. My sister did not have symptoms for the first three days but later after medication she developed flu, cold, cough, nausea and extreme tiredness. She also feels shortness of breath but her oxygen level is constantly 99. Why is her body getting worse day by day? Even after injection she feels tired and fatigued. Her CT and blood report are normal and she has no fever. She is 26 years old. Does she have any problem?

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.
