This viral load can trigger mild to severe symptoms depending on its effect on the immune system. The very first step should be to self-isolate after getting a positive COVID test result. All the people who came in contact with the infected individual must be informed as well. Furthermore, the family physician must be consulted for proper prescriptions of medications or any other further tests.
Negative – An individual does not have Covid infection when the test results come out negative. In case, they have symptoms similar to coronavirus, then they can take a test again after a few days. There are times when the viral load is not detected in the early stages of infection.
