I recently got a blood test, and my ESR came back at 18. I'm a bit worried because Im not sure if that's within the normal range. My SGPT was also 52. Should I be concerned about these results? What do they really mean?

I've been really worried because I lost my sense of smell around October 14th or 15th. I got tested on the 16th and my ct value came back as 27. I've been isolating since the 15th, and I haven't had any other symptoms. My oxygen, pulse, and temperature have all been normal, and thankfully my sense of smell has returned. I'm just wondering, when is it safe for me to come out of isolation?

21 days of isolation is enough and safe, maintain that,eat healthy and take rest.
