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 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.

My father tested COVID 19 positive on 26 July (sample taken on 23 July). After home isolation and treatment, he was retested on 12 August, and the report came today (13 August). The interpretation says 2019 nCoV negative, but I am confused about the MS2 gene detected part. Is he still contagious? Does he need to continue home isolation for a few more days?
