Still COVID Positive: After Recovering

what do mean by recover?
Some people take more than 14 days to be covid -ve.

Can you share the CT value of your test report if it was RT-PCR test.

By recovered you imply that you tested negative few days ago?

It is not necessary to perform COVID test after recovery. Person can stay positive for upto 6 weeks without actually having disease.

My parents have recovered but still positive with Ct value 26 and 32. Planning to test again next week.

No need to repeat RTPCR after recovery of symptoms. One can remain positive on RTPCR for weeks after recovery. So no use.
A person usually no longer is infective to others after 10 days. So if you have spent 14 days in isolation, and you are asymptomatic, no need to bother about the rtpcr. You are no more infective and free to mingle around.

I lost my sense of smell today! Kindly read the whole text and reply whether it is covid:

On 14th April, my 2 year old baby got fever, took to pediatrician who said it’s viral flu. He always got high fever without any other symptoms.
2 days later, wife got it too. And 3 days after that, I got it.
Symptoms of me and my wife are exactly same:

Fever upto 102 F for initial 2 days then low fever constantly till another 3 days.
Weakness, fatigue, unable to get up from bed.
Bitter mouth on 5th day which remained till 2 days.
Loss of smell on 6th day, can’t even smell perfume!

Although my wife recovered slightly quicker, her sense of smell is back to around 80% today.

read what inventor of the RTPCR test has to say about it
It cannot test you for any virus

Why you doing the test, take a rest, and let God take the decision.

last yr tested positive 3 times.
gap of 2 weeks for every test.
no symptoms in all 3 cases.
I remember getting headaches sometimes after long usage of computer…bass wo chod ke aur kuch nahi..
Soch raha hu abhi test kiya toh positive hi aayega..

Don’t worry bro same happened with me also
I also got positive when I went for test after 15 days of quarantine, I enquired many people about this many said that due to the presence of dead cells it will show as positive
And also doctors suggested not to take test again after 14 days of quarantine
Don’t worry bro u will be fine 🙂

Same in my sister’s case after 19 days . result came positive
But after 14 days transmission is rare
So don’t worry

Thanks everyone for your Input.
It really helped me, hope this helps someone else too.
Anyhow, as a precaution I’ll be isolating myself for one more week(till Friday)

Thanks Again.

There’s no need to retest unless you need the negative report for some official purpose. Unnecessary retesting is a waste of resources and your money.

For isolation, it is minimum 10 days + 3 days without any symptoms (cough can take more time to resolve)
Eg
1. If you have symptoms for 4-5 days, isolate for 10+3= 13-14 days
2. If you have severe disease and symptoms for 24 days, isolate for 24+3=27 days
