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.

My husband RTPCR test report came today, and he is COVID 19 positive but asymptomatic. Could you please advise what the next steps should be? Should any medication be given, or are there other precautions we need to follow?

What is the process of quarantine from the corona virus?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am having rashes on my skin, mainly on the neck, thighs, and underarms. I do not have fever, cold, cough, or any other symptom of COVID. Can skin rashes be the only symptom, and should I test for COVID? I already had COVID 6 months ago. It was mild, and I was isolated at home. Please let me know if you have an answer to the above query. Thanks in advance.
