https://www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-ra ... flow-testsDo not use a rapid lateral flow test if you have COVID-19 symptoms. Get a PCR test as soon as possible and self-isolate, even if symptoms are mild.
Is this because a lateral flow test genuinely won't give an accurate result if you have symptoms?
Or is it because they want to encourage symptomatic people to get a PCR test for other reasons (e.g. so they're in "the system", so they can do the genomic testing etc.)?
