One of my friend tested coronavirus positive on 17 april its almost 20 days and he has not shown a single symtomps. Whether there is a need of retest ? If yes then would be a same test like PCR because according to WHO 14 days after no symtomps no retest required ?
yes
repeat the test
Retest required
this time we should test IgG level to check antibodies against coronavirus
No need for retest .

Ideally in Young with No Symptoms Test can be repeat after 10 days even if it is negative still need 7 day Quarantine...But in your case you delayed the test...

Thanks. 20 days still positive with no symtomps thats was the confusing part. Is procedure for retest is different from fresh test because he didnt tell its his retest.
