CT value 16 in RT-PCR test (for Covid)

Question

Asked for Female, 28 Years

My father is covid positive .He was sick since 7 days so we have got the test done day before yesterday. 4 days ago he had fever and body aches for three days but now he donot have much symptoms. His CT value in RT-PCR is 16.Does that mean high rate of infection? If the CT value is high will there be greater chances of lung infection? Do we need to go for any further test to recognise if the virus load is low or high.
