Post Covid
Me and wife tested positive for covid on 6th April. We quarantined for 14 days and retook the test. We got negative in rapid antigen and positive in RTPCR. Doctor advised that the RTPCR will be positive upto 21-30 days so we broke our isolation.
From 30th April, I've headache, body pains and back pain. I'm worried if I re-exposed to COVID. There is no fever, cough or cold and the SpO2 is also 98-99.
Is there any possibility of reinfection within a month? Please advise what need to be done.
