A member asked:
If someone had all the symptoms of covid-19 but tested negative (test done january 2020), is it possible that they actually had covid-19?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If tested too early, the COVID 19 PCR test may have been negative. Antibody testing can be done at a later time to look for evidence of pior infection.
