HRCT Chest
Dear Sir/Madam
Done RT-PCR Test for my mother-in-law and it is negative.
In the HRCT Chest scan the CT severity is 11/25.
Is it related to Covid?
If it is covid , can we go for treatment in house it self or should we admit her in hospital?
Spo2 saturation is ~98.
Please advise here.
Thanks.

Hello there, new variant is showing variation in RTPCR, and HRCT is already showing infection by pneumonia, so it's more probably chances of Covid-19, she need to be tested for few more blood test to confirm and treatment. So I must suggest not to waste more time. She'll be fine with medication.

If all within normal limits without cough, breathlessness then it can be managed at home otherwise get her admitted to hospital
