Rapid test if positive, consider it positive... If rapid test is negative and have high clinical suspicion then RTPCR will be done to be sure.. Anyways for you its positive so stay home continue your treatment..your symptoms seems to be mild.. you will recover .. no need to panic .. monitor oxygen saturation.. if its going below 90 you need hospital admission..
