It is not completely accurate. Your treatment will be based on clinical assumption of covid 19. Kindly consult. Some blood tests are also needed to assess the severity of the infection

Rapid antigen test positive means you are positive, negative does not imply your are negative. The next step if it comes negative and you are having symptoms is to go for a more specific test i.e. RT-PCR

As per guidelines if you came positive in RAT means you are positive, but if you came negative with symptoms than you have to do RTPCR.
