No. You should ideally wait for 4-6 weeks for dependable results. Early testing is likely to yield false negative results.

PCR, Should be done after 2-3weeks at least to avoid false results, but if turns out to be positive then it should be reconfirm with retesting at 3 months. Viral load is not measured by this test
