I have done a COVID 19 test, and my report came inconclusive. What should I do next? Should I repeat the test, and for how many days should I stay in isolation in the meantime? Please advise.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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.
