A negative test result indicates that antigens from the virus that causes COVID-19 or influenza were not detected in your sample. If you have a negative result, it does not rule out SARS-CoV-2 or influenza infection; you may still be infected and you may still infect others. It is important that you work with your healthcare provider to help you understand the next steps you should take. A positive test result means that one, or multiple, of the viruses detected by this test were also detected in your sample. It is very likely that you have the respective COVID-19 and/or influenza infection(s) and are contagious. You should self-isolate following local guidelines. Please contact your physician or healthcare provider to discuss your test results and follow-up care. In rare instances, individuals may also have coinfections with other bacteria or viruses that this test is not designed to detect. This means that the virus detected by this test may not be the definitive or the only cause of your disease. There is a small chance that this test can give you a positive result that is incorrect (a false positive).
