Is it fine if rt pcr is postive even after 21 days. My mom is 68 years old and was tested covid on 25th April. She is diabetic and taking insulin. Her ct scan value was 12/25 on 28th April..we thought she is recovering however PCR reports says she is still postive. Last week also she was positive. Pls suggest next course of action.thanks.
