I recently had a bit of fever and a sore throat, so I tested myself for COVID 19 antibodies. Could you please help me understand my test report and advise on what it means? I have attached the report for your reference.

COVID 19 IgG positive means past exposure or vaccination. Negative means no antibodies. This test alone cannot diagnose active infection. For current symptoms, consult a doctor and consider RTPCR if needed.

View allI 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.

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?
