Clear Results Interpretation
Positive COVID-19 Reading

Positive

Two colored lines appear: One line in the control line region (C) and one in the test line region (T). The result is positive regardless of the intensity of the T-line. The patient is most likely INFECTED with the COVID-19 infection*.

Negative COVID-19 Reading

Negative

A line in the Control line region (C) appears. No line in the Test line region (T). The patient is most likely NOT INFECTED with the COVID-19 infection*.

Invalid Covid-19 Reading

Invalid

If no line appears in the Control zone (C), the test is invalid.

*No test is ever perfect. All tests occasionally result in false-positive or false-negative results. Sometimes the results are not definitive. For this and other reasons, results should always be reviewed by healthcare professionals. Reference: CDC(2020). Guidance on Interpreting COVID-19 Test Results.
