Positive Test Result

If both the colored line C and T are visible, the test result is positive. This means the test detected the virus protein in the sample. The tested person is currently infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Negative Test Result

A visible control line C alone means the test worked correctly. The test result is negative. No virus protein could be detected in the sample.

Invalid Test Result

If there is no line visible, or only the line marked with a T, the test did not work correctly and needs to be repeated with another test device.
