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?

A CT value of 19.2 indicates a high viral load. Despite being mostly asymptomatic, continue strict isolation and monitor symptoms. There is no need to retest immediately unless required for travel or discharge criteria.

All members of my in laws household, except my husband, are COVID positive and symptomatic. The first infection symptoms in a member and my husband exposure to the virus started on 14th. Today is 19th, and my husband has not developed any symptoms. He is the only asymptomatic person with a negative RT PCR test done on 16th, even though he is in close contact with all members 24x7 in the same house. This has got me worried as I am at a different place. What can be the reason? What should be done? PS: My husband had COVID last September during the first wave, but his antibody test report came negative in December.

In an emergency situation, I accompanied a boy to the hospital after he fell from a building. Five hours later, he was declared COVID 19 positive. We were shocked because his main issues were trauma related, with loss of consciousness and inability to use his hands and legs. How reliable are RTPCR and Rapid Antigen Test results in such situations? How does this affect people like us who were asymptomatic but in close contact? Can an asymptomatic person spread COVID 19, and if yes, for how many days are they contagious?
