I'm on day 28 since I first noticed my symptoms and my CT scan showed mild pneumonia with a score of 525. Sometimes it still feels hard to take a deep breath. Can I stop isolating now?

I'm really worried about the lung fibrosis I've developed after recovering from COVID. Is there any risk that this could eventually turn into cancer? I'm hoping to understand what "moderate degree lung fibrosis" means in this context and what potential complications I should be aware of.

I've been taking the pill Septilin once a day for the past year since I got diagnosed with a respiratory allergy. I usually experience coughing, chest pressure, and a whistling sound when breathing at night. I'm also on an anxiety pill, Vetodep 20, once a day. Can I get the COVID-19 vaccine, and if so, what precautions should I be aware of?

donot take covid vaccine if you are having active symptoms of allergy
