Isolate yourself in a room especially the first 7 days because during this time a patient is most infections. Keep the room ventilated and wear a high quality mask. Do not travel. Eat small healthy meals frequentely to fight the virus.

My report came negative after 14 days of isolation. I would like to know if any precautions need to be taken and for how long, as I have a 3 year old son. Also, my mother in law and father in law are at home. It has been a total of 17 days now. Is any medication required post COVID? When will smell or taste resume? I had a mild infection with no fever or cold before testing. I am also experiencing leg pain, dryness in throat and nose, and weakness post COVID. Am I still infectious? Blood tests including D dimer were fine and oxygen level is 96+. Please suggest?

How to diagnose COVID 19 at the early stage?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recently tested positive for COVID 19 three days ago, and my report shows a CT value of 19.2. I am almost asymptomatic, with only a slight dry cough and occasional mild headache, but no fever. What does this CT value mean, and when should I get tested again to check if I am negative?
