A. Many babies with RT-PCR test positive can be quite healthy. The incubation period for children is the same as in adults. Symptoms start within 2-14 days after exposure but occur most frequently within 5-7 days. If there are no symptoms, there is no need to do the RT-PCR again. But to put your worries to rest, you can go ahead with the test.
