icmr has clearly stated that ct value is of no significance since it depends on the calibration of machine..earlier it was noted that a low ct value has a higher transmission rate..NOT ANYMORE..since you have in contact with a covid positive patient you definitely need to quarantine yourself and watch for symptoms till the 7th day..no need to worry after if you have not developed any symptoms by then

Yes.
Isolate yourself for 5 days.
Do betadine gargles
If no symptoms after 5 days, then very unlikely you got covid.
