This is based on my experience, but everyone I know relies so much about the test result, regardless of having symptoms. Being symptomatic with negative result, people still choose to go out because they think they are fine, "kasi negative naman result ko".

False negatives are VERY COMMON. We should not rely so much on the result of the test. Tell you family, friends, everyone: IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS (cough, cold, body pain, fever), STAY AT HOME AND ISOLATE YOURSELF. Follow the isolation protocol and take meds when necessary. You don't need to know if you are positive or negative because no matter what the result is, YOU ARE SICK. You could be contagious.
