Covid test does not have 100% sensitivity n specificity and hence is not reliable 100% of the time.
Next Steps
Get chest X-ray done and blood culture to confirm the diagnosis. Start with broad spectrum antibiotics and symptomatic treatment timely after sending culture report without a delay
Health Tips
Quarantine and take necessary precautions to avoid contacting others physically
