CT value ( Cycle Threshold) tells the number of cycles after which the virus was detected during RTPCR test. The lower the ct value, higher the viral load and vice versa.
Next Steps
Take COVID treatment and you need to continue your thyroid meds along the Covid treatment.
Health Tips
Low CT value may means high viral load but it doesn't mean it will lead to severe disease. So dont worry too much about CT value.
