Covid 19 Retest Clarification

2020-08-12 11:17:14
Hello Doctors, My father was tested covid 19 +ve on 26 jul( Sample taken on 23 Jul). After home isolation and home treatment, he got retested on 12 Aug and report came today (13 Aug). I can see in report interpretation says "2019-nCov negative", but I am confused about "MS2 GENE detected" part. Is he still contagious? Does he need to continue home isolation for another few days? Please help understand. Report attached for reference.
