I've seen many doctors suggest a false negative rate somewhere near 30%.

They tested me for both strains of the flu and it came back negative and I was pretty sure I had Covid 19 because I had all the symptoms, so when it came back negative, I was perplexed. There is another test I can take now to see if I have the Covid 19 antibodies in my system, not sure it means that much to me to get retested.

Hopefully your test comes back negative.
