More parameters than just the test result need to be included in the analysis and the recommendation going forward. For example, symptoms showed since the start of 2020. In addition, the CE marking of the test is only valid if the test is carried out by a healthcare professional.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Interpretation of the result” font_container=”tag:h5|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1588505587450{padding-top: 15px !important;}”][vc_tta_accordion style=”outline” gap=”10″ c_position=”right” active_section=”0″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”When can I go back to work if I show POSITIVE results?” tab_id=”1588502684746-23″][vc_column_text]The test needs to be assessed in combination with the symptoms shown. If you are still feeling symptoms, you should follow the public health authority\u2019s recommendation to stay home. This is true even if you have mild symptoms. Then you should not go to work or school.<\/p>\n
Only after you have been symptom-free for 48 hours and have shown a positive result can you go back to work according to current recommendations (Last updated by Public Health Agency of Sweden: 2020-03-12). You are very likely to have developed antibodies to COVID-19 and are less likely to become infected again or infect others.<\/p>\n
Updated recommendations may come from the public health authority and should be followed.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Can I go back to work if I show NEGATIVE results?” tab_id=”1588502684761-3bd3948f-3aec”][vc_column_text]The test needs to be assessed in combination with the symptoms shown. If you get a negative result but feel you have disease symptoms, it may be that you have not yet developed antibodies. Take the test again in 2 days. If you still haven\u2019t developed antibodies and been healthy for 48h, you can go back to work according to current recommendations (Last updated by Public Health Agency of Sweden: 2020-03-12).

However, you should still be careful for your own and others\u2019 sake. According to the public health authority, it is yet uncertain how long you will be immune if you have been infected and built up antibodies to the virus. Based on past experience, the assessment is that the immunity lasts so long that you will not be infected multiple times in the same season. We will update this continuously if new information is published.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How do I know if the test did not work?” tab_id=”1588502684812-2515397c-abb1″][vc_column_text]The card on the test contains a control line (C). Regardless of the antibodies that exist in the sample, the C line should go from blue to red to indicate that the sample has been adequately moved through the membrane. If the C line does not change color, it indicates that the test result is invalid.
