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?

Is an x-ray or a CT scan better at diagnosing COVID-19?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

From 19th April he was suffering from fever. Test report shows COVID 19 positive and CRP 12. Fever lasted for 3 days and then became normal. He was having no smell but is now improving. It has been almost 17 days. Does he require RT PCR test or any other test to be done? Can he now live normally? Please advise.
