Question 1

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?

Question 2

About a month ago, I had a throat infection that lasted for 25 days. My doctor said it was a viral infection and did not recommend any tests. After I recovered, I decided to do a COVID antibody test on my own. The report shows IgG negative but total antibodies positive. I am now feeling fine. Does this mean I had a COVID infection, or can other viral infections also show total antibodies positive? Was my doctor wrong in diagnosing it as a non COVID viral infection?

Question 3

I am having rashes on my skin, mainly on the neck, thighs, and underarms. I do not have fever, cold, cough, or any other symptom of COVID. Can skin rashes be the only symptom, and should I test for COVID? I already had COVID 6 months ago. It was mild, and I was isolated at home. Please let me know if you have an answer to the above query. Thanks in advance.

Does a normal Covid test identify which variant it is?

No, normal Covid 19 tests cannot identify the variant which has infected the person.
