Do a PCR if you can

I tested negative on LFT the day I tested positive on PCR.

PCR detects if you’ve got covid.

LFT detects if you’re currently contagious with covid.

It’s possible to be the former and not the latter. In fact I’ve just re-entered this state as I still have it but now test negative on LFT again (I was positive on LFT yesterday, not today).

It’s well worth getting tested so you can avoid passing it on if it’s covid and also more easily access the care you need if it does get worse.
