My blood test report shows that my erythrocytes are normocytic and normochromic. Is this serious? Please advise. Thank you.

No, this means your red blood cells are normal in size and color. Its a normal finding unless anemia or other symptoms exist. No concern if rest of CBC is fine.

I have attached my blood report. The report includes the remark, Alert, Predominantly normocytic normochromic with ovalocytes. Platelets appear adequate in smear. I also have a family history of thyroid issues and am currently taking medication for it. Could you please explain what these findings mean and if there is any cause for concern?

Yesterday, my father underwent fistula surgery. That night, he developed a fever. His blood report shows an increased WBC count. Could this be a sign of COVID 19? Please suggest what we should do.
