If there is still concern that a person has COVID-19 after a negative antigen test, then that person should be tested again with a PCR test. A negative antibody test means that the person may not have had COVID-19 in the past.

Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...

Take a HS-CRP (HIGH SENSITIVITY C-REACTIVE PROTEIN) Test or Take a DIFFERENTIAL LEUKOCYTE COUNT (DLC) Test
