Covid infection
I got covid in March 4 and was discharged from hospital after 16 days. I got a lung infection detected in ct scan (8/25) which was reduced to (6/25) before discharge. Now it's been almost a month I got back home so how will I know my infection is cleared completely??

Covid infection might have settled by now. Sequelae like fibrosis may be present. It will take some time to come down. Don't worry about the infection part. Do respiratory exercises, incentive spirometry, yoga etc.
Monitor the saturation of oxygen after walking or exercise for a fall. ..
Covid test if you do now it will be negative only
Next Steps
HRCT after 6 months
