“Whether it is positive, negative or invalid, those who do the test must be responsible.
“This is important, especially when it is a positive case.
“Please do not falsify your results. We must protect others from being infected,” he said at the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme media briefing yesterday.
Dr Adham said those with a positive test result must refer themselves either to a private health facility, Covid-19 assessment centre or health clinic.
Those with negative results but exhibit symptoms should go to a clinic for further evaluation, while those with invalid results must take the test again, he added.
