Question 1

Does a normal Covid test identify which variant it is?

Question 2

On day 6 after infection, I did an RTPCR test. Today is day 10, and my report has come back with a Ct value of 22/25. I do not have any significant symptoms now, and my sense of smell and taste are normal. Should I be concerned about this Ct value?

Question 3

I went to have a COVID test 5 days ago because I had certain symptoms. That day, I was put in a hospital ward with others who had similar symptoms and were admitted after the test. The next day, my test results came back negative. However, I did spend 1 day in that ward. On the discharge slip, doctors advised me to stay in isolation for 10 days, even though my test report was negative. I want to ask if there is a significant chance of getting COVID by staying in a COVID dedicated ward for one day? I wore a surgical mask the whole time. After coming back, I changed my clothes but did not bathe as I was having a fever. Today is the 5th day, and I am a little scared because I read that most patients develop COVID symptoms between days 5 and 10.

My RTPCR test was negative, but my husband test was positive. Since yesterday, I have been experiencing mild cough and body aches, but no fever. What should be my next steps?

After direct exposure and symptoms like cough and body pain, a COVID RTPCR test is strongly advised. Isolate until your test result is available. Even mild symptoms can indicate infection.
