During the traditional press conference organized by the Crisis Center, Frédérique Jacobs, interfederal spokesperson for coronavirus, confirmed what many people feared: it is not because a test is negative that the coronavirus is not not here.
“It is very important to note that a negative test does not guarantee that you are not infected with the virus. It is perfectly fine that you are carrying the virus but that the test remains negative during the first days of the exposure, ”she explained.
Before adding: “Even after a negative test, the virus can still appear, and you can become contagious for a few more days. Finally, a test provides knowledge, but does not protect you or cure you and does not replace quarantine ”.
