RTPCR is confirmatory, so you are corona virus positive. Take care of yourself self. Maintain social distance from unke family members. Please check your oxygen saturation with pulse oximeter atleast 3-4 times a day. If you develop breathlessness, decrease in the oxygen saturation, then please go to the nearest Covid centre for admission.

No test is 100 % reliable there can be false positive (the person doesn't have the disease but the test comes positive) and false negative ( person has the disease but the test is negative.) results. According to some studies up to 30 % of the cases, the test can be a false negative.
