  5. I'm really concerned about my dad. He had moderate COVID-19 and was hospitalized for five days, he's been discharged since January 1st, and all his reports were fine in mid-January when he was tested negative. It's been about a month and a half now, but he still has this mild dry cough. There are no other symptoms, though. How long can you have a cough after COVID, and should we think about getting him tested again? Any advice you have would be really great to hear.
