Question 1

My father tested COVID 19 positive on 26 July (sample taken on 23 July). After home isolation and treatment, he was retested on 12 August, and the report came today (13 August). The interpretation says 2019 nCoV negative, but I am confused about the MS2 gene detected part. Is he still contagious? Does he need to continue home isolation for a few more days?

Question 2

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.

Question 3

My family tested positive for COVID 19. My father and mother RTPCR reports show high viral load, my report shows low viral load, and the other family members reports indicate mild COVID. Could you please suggest treatment or prescription for us? We need guidance on what to do next.

Does a normal Covid test identify which variant it is?

No, normal Covid 19 tests cannot identify the variant which has infected the person.
