RT PCR Test
I had very mild symptoms like body pain on Sunday 09/05/21 and Monday 10/05/21. I did RTPCR on Tuesday 11/05 and tested positive. After Wednesday 12/05 I do not have any symptoms. I am in isolation since 12/05.
When can I go for RTPCR again for negative results?
Doctor suggested to go for RTPCR after 7 days from asymptotic day, also some doctor suggested RTPCR not really required in case of mild or asymptotic case. But I need negative report for some formality purpose.
Please suggest when shall I do RTPCR again.
Thank you.

Practice home isolation for 17 days, ie upto 27 may., irrespective of symptoms. You do not want to spread the disease to others.
After 27th you can go for the RTPCR test, to be doubly sure.
You can also go for the cheaper RAT if you have been thoroughly asymptomatic throughout this period of 17 days
Next Steps
isolation till 27th May
