Follow the instructions on packaging. If you have a negative test and suspect that you are infected, please follow up with another test using PCR. Watch for symptoms of fever, shortness of breath and cough. Stay well hydrated and rest.

A nose swab, preferably a nasopharyngeal sample would be appropriate for testing for Covid. If you are not vaccinate, get vaccinated and boosted.
