Explain the terms Positive Test for COVID-19 and Negative Test for COVID-19.
Answers
Answer:
Negative test result
A negative result means the test did not find coronavirus.
You do not need to self-isolate if your test is negative, as long as:
everyone you live with who has symptoms tests negative
everyone in your support bubble who has symptoms tests negative
you were not told to self-isolate for 14 days by NHS Test and Trace – if you were, see what to do if you've been told you've been in contact with someone who has coronavirus
you feel well – if you feel unwell, stay at home until you’re feeling better
If you have diarrhoea or you’re being sick, stay at home until 48 hours after they've stopped.
Information:
If you're a health or care worker, check with your employer before going back to work.
Positive test result
A positive result means you had coronavirus when the test was done.
If your test is positive, you must self-isolate immediately.
If you had a test because you had symptoms, keep self-isolating for at least 10 days from when your symptoms started.
If you had a test but have not had symptoms, self-isolate for 10 days from when you had the test.
Anyone you live with, and anyone in your support bubble, must self-isolate for 14 days from when you start self-isolating.

Information:
In England, you'll get an email, text or call from the NHS Test and Trace service if you test positive after having symptoms.
You'll be asked where you've been recently and who you've been in close contact with.
Find out about being contacted by NHS Test and Trace after testing positive for coronavirus.
And if your test come as positive
That means you are corona positive that means you have to self isolate yourself or quarantine yourself
