Covid infection

2021-07-04 08:53:45
My brother was diagnosed with covid 12 days back and he was in isolation plus he was taking medications-multivitamins,zinc,ivermectin,doxycycline,azithromycin,ibuprofen and paracetamol and also a ascoril cough syrup. Yesterday we tested again and the results came negative. But it's not been 14 days yet. So is he actually negative or are the reports wrong ? Should we do re test or keep him in isolation for few more days ? Please help me out. Thanks.
