If you tested positive (COVID or otherwise), isolate with precautions. Avoid direct contact where possible. Wear a mask during feeding. Ensure she is hydrated, feeding well, and consult pediatrician if symptoms develop.

I am 5 months pregnant. Today, my husband and I got RTPCR tests done, my report is negative, and his is positive. I am experiencing symptoms like loss of taste and smell. Should I repeat the test? I also had a previous rapid test, which was negative. What should I do next?

All members of my in laws household, except my husband, are COVID positive and symptomatic. The first infection symptoms in a member and my husband exposure to the virus started on 14th. Today is 19th, and my husband has not developed any symptoms. He is the only asymptomatic person with a negative RT PCR test done on 16th, even though he is in close contact with all members 24x7 in the same house. This has got me worried as I am at a different place. What can be the reason? What should be done? PS: My husband had COVID last September during the first wave, but his antibody test report came negative in December.
