Vaccines are now available for health care workers and frontliners , please get vaccinated now instead of waiting for the right/better vaccine for you.

We mustn’t become complacent eventhough we already have the vaccine. We still have to protect others who are still waiting for the vaccine.

To prevent spread of COVID-19, we must continue to wear masks, wear full face shields, wash our hands with soap regularly and practice physical distancing.

wishing everyone a covid free Holidays 🎄🎄⭐️

Here are the APPROXIMATE results of tests if you are actually INFECTED with COVID-19 assuming an average five-day incubation period before the onset of symptoms. This is what a doctor has to sort out using a proper clinical history, physical exam and ancillary laboratory tests. This does not take into account false positives that are rare except for some less accurate rapid antibody tests :

On day of infection day 1 to day 3 (no symptoms, usually not yet infectious)

RT-PCR: 100% NEGATIVE
Antibody: 100% NEGATIVE
Antigen: 100% NEGATIVE

On day 4 of infection (no symptoms, can infect others)

RT-PCR: 50% POSITIVE, 50% NEGATIVE
Antibody: 100% NEGATIVE
Antigen: 100% NEGATIVE (some of the more sensitive tests may start to become positive but this is not yet known to be consistent)

On day 5 of infection (day 1 of symptoms, very infectious)

RT-PCR: 62% POSITIVE, 38% NEGATIVE
Antibody: 100% NEGATIVE (some of the more sensitive antibody tests like CLIA or ELISA may show 10 to 30% positivity)
Antigen: 50% POSITIVE, 50% NEGATIVE

On day 8 of infection (day 3 of symptoms, very infectious)

RT-PCR: 80% POSITIVE, 20% NEGATIVE
Antibody: 100% NEGATIVE (some more sensitive antibody tests like CLIA or ELISA may show 10 to 30% positivity)
Antigen: 65% POSITIVE, 35% NEGATIVE

On day 21 of infection (day 16 from SYMPTOM ONSET - usually no longer considered infectious after 14 days from SYMPTOM ONSET even if still RT-PCR positive)

RT-PCR: 34% POSITIVE, 66% NEGATIVE
Antibody: 30% to 99% POSITIVE (some more sensitive antibody tests like CLIA or ELISA may show up to 99% positivity but most rapid tests will be much LOWER)
Antigen: 0% POSITIVE,100% NEGATIVE

Please note that antigen tests are still being validated and performance characteristics may change.

The best way to sort out this data is by consulting with an experienced medical practitioner. Testing for COVID-19 is fraught with pitfalls and A NEGATIVE TEST CANNOT RULE OUT COVID-19. A negative test just means you either haven't caught it YET or the test is showing a false negative result. Testing is only a TOOL to help manage and track COVID-19. It is NOT a get out of jail card nor is it some sort of amulet against COVID-19 infection. Our best defense against COVID-19 is still proper and consistent use of masks, face shields and physical distancing. Talk to your doctor if you have specific concerns, and please don't self-test or self-medicate.
