Uncertain: "Preliminary research from China that is yet to be peer reviewed suggests the most common form of COVID-19 test produces “false negatives” up to 30 percent of the time." However, sample collection may be the problem (vice the tests). REF: https://www.healthline.com/health-news/false-negatives-covid19-tests-symptoms-assume-you-have-illness
