Covid pneumonia
Hello sir/mam,
my sister was covid positive on 14th april 2021. her fever and other issues have gone for the past 6 days. she is maintaining regular spo2 of 94-98 from day 1 till date. we did an hrct thorax a few days ago and she has covid pneumonia. her cts score is 7/40. she only has coughing as her problem now. and whenever she coughs she has phlegm. visited a doctor and was advised cepodem 200 and inhaler for 10days. my question is if my sister returns a positive rtpcr on her 16th day of home quarantine is it safe to take her out and let her mingle with other family members considering she is still coughing?
