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.

No RT PCR is needed if hes symptom free after 17 days. CRP 12 suggests mild inflammation, which can persist briefly. He can resume normal activities with precautions. Antibody testing is optional, not mandatory.

Hi, We took a chest X ray and blood report. We need suggestions on whether she has COVID 19. If she does, should she be admitted to the hospital or can stay in home quarantine? Her CRP value is 14.

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?
