I have been positive tested with COVID. Attached COVID Test Report for the same.

Symptoms were Fever, Headache & Body Ache for me to take the COVID detection tests of Tongue and Nostril Swab.

I have taken Covashield vaccine first dose. The second vaccine dose will be taken after consulting with Medical practitioner.

Ayurveda medicines, complete rest at home, Good Diet helped me in recovery. Home quarantine of 14 days.

By God's Grace myself, Wife & Son are well. They also had COVID positive test results.

Query :

What does the Confirmatory Gene CT Value : 21 indicate in the report?

How this value is computed ?

Are there medical instruments similar to Microscope which computes this value?

What is the process for computing this value?

More the CT value, More are Good COVID Test results ? If yes or no, Why?

Lesser the CT value, More are Bad COVID results ?
If yes or no, Why?

Thanks & Regards,

Sorry, The Confirmatory Gene CT value is 20 and not 21 in the COVID test results.

Wait what? That means the vaccine didn't work. The rest of your thread I don't follow.

The PCR test works by duplicating the genetic material in a sample to a point where a specific genetic sequence is detected.

Ct is the cycle threshold.  It is the number of  amplification cycles needed to see the fluorescent color which indicates the presence of the genetic sequence.

The higher the Ct it is set on, the more likely it is to detect a lower viral load.

So if a person has recovered and has a minute amount of viral debris still in his body:
by setting the Ct on 30, the viral debris won't be detected => giving a (-) test result
by setting the Ct on 40, the viral debris will be detected
=> giving a False (+) test result

The WHO's guidelines: Ct=47
