1/ Q: I want to visit older family members soon, so I went and got a #PCR test for #COVID__19 (i.e., the kind that detects *current* infection). My test came back negative, so I am in the clear, right?
A: Not necessarily. It is possible you got a false negative test result.
2/ After you are exposed to #SARSCoV2, the amount of #virus in your body builds up over time. It reaches its highest level right before symptom onset.
It can take 2-14 days (average of 5-6) from the time of exposure to when symptoms develop: a.k.a. the incubation period.
3/ Based on this incubation period, and because it is ideal to identify cases before they even develop symptoms, #publichealth experts currently recommend people get tested about 4 days AFTER a suspected exposure.
