First test for covid-19 came back negative. still showed symptoms for the following two days, but now im feeling better and showing no symptoms. is it necessary to go for a second test to rule out covid-19?

COVID 19: Which COVID 19 test did you have? If it was a swab test then probably you don't need to repeat it. If it was the antibody test, that tests take weeks to be positive
