If you have symptoms, test immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are only going to take a single test, a PCR test will provide a more reliable negative test result.<\/li>
If you use an antigen test, a positive result is reliable, but a negative test is not always accurate.<\/li>
If your antigen test is negative, take another antigen test after 48 hours or take a PCR test as soon as you can.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
If you do not have symptoms but have been exposed to COVID-19, wait at least 5 full days after your exposure before taking a test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
