If antibodies are present, It suggests that the body has already dealt with SARS-CoV-2. Covid-19 Quick Test cannot not show whether a person has an active infection. But these tests are not 100% accurate and some false positive results or false negative results may occur.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Antibody test results should not be used to diagnose someone with an active infection<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it safe to get tested for Covid-19?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, it\u2019s safe to get tested. All medical staff wear protective gear and all patients are required to follow safety procedures during the whole process.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should I do after receiving my RT-PCR Covid-19 test results?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If your RT-PCR result is positive:<\/strong> <strong>you have Covid-19<\/strong><br \/>&#8211; Follow the instructions and further advice from your medical provider and the authority<br \/>&#8211; Inform your travel history, contact history with other people within 14 days before the day you get tested to the authorities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If your RT-PCR result is negative:<br \/><\/strong>You did not have Covid-19 at the time you got tested. However, you still have chances of contracting Covid-19. It is recommended to follow the quarantine instruction (self-quarantine for 14 days) to protect yourself and people around you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need to get retested for COVID-19 if I get symptoms again but my first test result was negative?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A negative test result only means that you did not have COVID-19 at the time of testing. However, that does not mean you will not get COVID-19. If you experience symptoms again, such as a fever, cough, sore\/scratchy throat, change in taste or smell, stuffy nose or shortness of breath, get tested.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I get Covid-19 tests?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Docosan currently has partners offering both Covid-19 tests in Ho Chi Minh city and Ha Noi.
