False negative is when you have an active Covid 19 infection but your results show that you dont have an infection. This is referred to as false negative test.

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a Apollo Senior Citizen Health Check Essential Test or Take a ACTH Test (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone) Test
