Isolate yourself in a room especially the first 7 days because during this time a patient is most infections. Keep the room ventilated and wear a high quality mask. Do not travel. Eat small healthy meals frequentely to fight the virus.

Hi, I want to know. I got a COVID rapid antigen test after my blood report showed CRP at 52.4. My result was negative. Is this not the final result of my COVID test and do I have to wait for another report? If so, what is the other report if this is negative?

Is there a test for the SARS-COV-2 virus?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?
