Positive test results are meant to indicate that you are infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. You may be asymptomatic or show symptoms. If you are asymptomatic, then your virus is known as SARS-CoV-2, if you showcase symptoms, it is called COVID-19. Many who become infected with the virus often will deal with a mild illness and can recover safely in the comfort of their own home without any external medical care. Contact us if you believe your symptoms are becoming worse or if you have any questions or concerns about your test results and symptoms. A negative test is meant to indicate you probably are not infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus at the time of your test collection. However, it is still possible for you to have COVID-19, but at the time of collection, the infection was not detected as it may have been too early on, or after you started to recover. Getting a negative test will never indicate that you are safe from contracting the COVID-19 virus, as you can easily come into contact with the virus within minutes or hours after your test collection. If you have tested positive, you can be contagious for up to two weeks after initially getting the virus, as fragments of the SARS-CoV-2 virus can continue to spread even after you have recovered. You can also become re-infected with the virus even if you have had it previously. For more information, contact our clinic today. Visit Express Health as we have 6 convenient locations to serve you.
