So it is the weekend and I finally had a blurb pop up my urgent care patient portal regarding my COVID test, The folks there gave me a rapid test which came back negative and I have been waiting a long time for my lab tet results.

The portal says "nucleocapsid protein detection, SARS-CoV - Negative"

Is this the rapid test . . . .the lab test??? Anyone?? Bueller??

Looks like nucleocapsid is the rapid antigen test.

You've tested negative for covid-19.
