What happens if my Antigen Rapid Test (ART) results are positive?
If your ART test results are positive, we will conduct a COVID-19 PCR test to confirm the test results. While the COVID-19 PCR results are being processed, you would need to isolate yourself at home.
Should your COVID-19 PCR results be positive, we will contact you to make arrangements for an urgent referral to NCID for subsequent care and management. If your COVID-19 PCR results are negative, we can provide you with a certificate to prove your COVID-19 negative status.
