Question regarding RT PCR
Good morning sir/ma'am..I had a question..My RT PCR test came positive on 20th march..I was asymptomatic..I am under home isolation and taking medicines..My parents were also covid positive and they underwent treatment in a hospital as they had fever and mild cough. They will be discharged from hospital today..I wanted to ask whether I can live with them till our report becomes negative or should I isolate myself from them also? Like are there chances of further spread of infection from them to me? And please suggest when should I get my RT PCR done.
