Asking For Other, Male 23, Karachi

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 ?
