Hi doctors. a friend and close contact of mine tested + for covid. i am getting tested.are you familiar with the rt-pcr abbotts id now test and is it an acceptable covid test for this under these conditions? what about a rapid antigen test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The positive result should be considered a confirmation of COVID-19. They should self isolate, drink fluids,rest and monitor breathing and temperature. Watch for signs of shortness of breath. The incubation period begins two days prior to symptoms in many patients.
