If you tested positive (COVID or otherwise), isolate with precautions. Avoid direct contact where possible. Wear a mask during feeding. Ensure she is hydrated, feeding well, and consult pediatrician if symptoms develop.

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?

I am traveling to Nagpur on 9th September, and my second vaccine dose is scheduled for 28th August. Since Maharashtra requires a negative RTPCR test for entry, I plan to take the RTPCR test on 7th September. Will my RTPCR report show positive because I took the vaccine dose on 28th August, or will it be negative?

I lost my sense of smell and taste today. I had a fever with body aches starting on the 18th, but I no longer have a fever. I am waiting for my COVID test report. In the meantime, I want to start some medication. Could someone please advise what I should do?
