I had a tetanus injection about 2 months back, and now I've got a small cut on my hand from an aluminum strip. Do I need to get another tetanus shot for this?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's tested positive for COVID, and hes been feeling unwell for about a week now. We got him tested two days ago, and he had a fever and body aches for three days, but now his symptoms aren't as bad. His CT value in the RTPCR test came back as 16. Does that mean there's a high rate of infection? Is he at greater risk for lung infection with that CT value? Should we be doing any more tests to figure out if the virus load is low or high? I'm just not sure what to do next.
A CT value of 16 indicates a higher viral load, suggesting active infection. While a higher viral load can sometimes be associated with a greater chance of complications like lung involvement, the absence of severe symptoms is a positive sign. Further testing, such as a chest X-ray or CT scan, might be considered to assess lung health, but its essential to monitor his condition closely. If symptoms worsen, seek medical attention promptly.
