I have a sore throat and no other symptoms besides migraines, should I get tested?

Hello ma'am, thank you for your question!

The appearance of the lines does not matter: if you noticed both lines 15 minutes after taking the test, it is considered positive, whether the lines are light or dark

Here are the latest guidelines from the health department :

🔔Important: If your rapid test result is positive, you should consider yourself infected, isolate yourself and inform your contacts. Also, if you have had high-risk contact with an infected person, you should isolate yourself for 10 days and test only if symptoms appear.

This means no need for a second test, as the centers are overwhelmed, unless you are experiencing symptoms.

I hope this has been helpful to you and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!

So your test should be considered positive, and given the high number of screenings currently being done and the limitations of the system, there is no need to be screened in the larger centers.

The test is supposed to work properly even if you have another virus such as the common cold.
