Is everyone awaiting Covid test results right now?
“Lateral flow tests should be used on a regular basis and especially if you’re going out to meet others if you are well and have no symptoms,” Dr Krishan tells. “Too many people I see and hear have symptoms suggestive of Covid, but are doing LFTs and, if negative, are going about their daily business only to discover a few days later on PCR that they have indeed been positive all along.
However, as Dr Krishan points out, there are a few reasons why a negative lateral flow test could be wrong. “You might not be swabbing thoroughly enough, or could have a faulty test kit,” she suggests. However, she stresses, if ever a doubt goes through your mind that you might have Covid, get a PCR.
