About RTPCR test
Hi Experts.
My father has tested rapid antigen test on 12th may, 2021he got positive . Now since 14 days he don't have any symptoms but today (after28 days) we went RTPCR test but in test found detected positive and CQ is 29 . 4
My doubt here still my father has corona virus or dead virus. But he does not have any symptoms other blood reports normal like CBP d dimer LFT RBS. Please clarify my doubt.

It is a false reaction due to the dead virus components. He will be RTPCR negative in a week. Your father is in the recovery phase of the disease.
