COVID query
Hi I am 30 years old and my husband and brother both 33 years old . My mother father my daughter my in-law all the members in the house were tested positive and we recovered. How ever my husband and brother who cared for us all the quarantine time and also exposed to us were tested negative. They don't have any symptoms also. Recently I lost my close fnds complete family as they did not have any symptoms but their lungs were totally damaged. I am really worried if I should get them tested again or any other tests to be done. Please suggest.

Just monitor for SpO2 , temperature, signs of increased respiration or difficulty breathing , unduly fatigue or anorexia
If these doesn’t go downhill , don’t worry
It’s natural to be anxious during the current scenario

You can retest again after 5-7 days of first test as their viral load might have been on lower side to test positive on their first test.
