You are Covid positive if you are positive in RAPID antigen test you will be considered as a positive patient while if you are negative in rAPID test and having symptoms like respiratory difficulty or fever then we should go for Arty PCR testing to reconfirm the possibility of COVID.
Kindly share any symptoms if at all you are facing so that we can start the treatment.What are you SP O2 level and temperature currently
