#covid19 "During the study, 154 people tested positive on PCR tests; 57 had symptoms, but 97 did not.
Rapid home tests were more accurate in people who had symptoms. They caught the infection ~ 60% of the time … on the first day of infection when a person had symptoms. When the rapid test was repeated two days later, the tests caught an infection with symptoms ~ 90% of the time.
Rapid tests were less helpful in people who didn’t have symptoms."
