Tests are pretty good but not 100% accurate. Get the vaccination and continue to mask and do what I call DDD- death defying distancing. Keep safe.

AS LONG AS YOU NOT BEEN NEAR ANYONE AND AMOUNG VACCINTED PEOPLE THA DON'T WORRY. IF DEVELOP FEVER ,CHILLS LOSS OF SMELL AND TASTE OR DRY COUGH AND ANY OTHER UNUSUAL SYMPTOMS THAN TAKE A COVID TEST FROM A DOCTOR OR CLINIC ASAP.
