If you ARE TESTED and clear there is no need to quarantine for the full 14 days as you don't have the virus. What do you not understand? I did not say that...you have the wrong quote ! What do you not understand about quoting posts ????????... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How quickly does an infected person show up on the test? That depends on the testing facility.. here in Thailand it could take a few hours to a few days to get results, depending where they are sent and what priority they are given.

You answered a question not asked, but those timings need to be considered. A person is asymptomatic for a time after infection, but I wanted to understand how well the test worked... is an infected person undetectable for an initial time period... an incubation period perhaps?

Dumbastheycome Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 For those who have been infected there is probably a reasonable chance that testing will show it well before symptoms become evident. It is also possible this group have been identified as low risk . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The test works at the time of testing... if a person is infected the test will show it. However to prevent infection after testing prior to getting the results they should remain isolated from anyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take your answer to mean the test is effective 10 seconds after a person becomes infected..... great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
