Covid infection
My husband got tested for covid on 5th Dec..He was in isolation for almost 3 weeks, he is still positive when tested on 6th Jan( almost 1 month), although there are no symptoms.. Why is the RT Pcr test positive? Is his virus infection still live, can he spread the infection to others?
