Still testing Covid Positive after 8 days

I was testing with the saliva swabs and getting negative results, even though I was obviously positive.
I used a nasal swab this morning and the result was instantly positive.
Some more time off work.

Some people will continue to viral shed for up to three months and return positive RA Tests. This does not mean you still have the active Covid Virus as such. If you don't have Covid like symptoms you should be good to go. Don't take my word for it.....Check with your GP.

PS Nasal swabs are more reliable than saliva ones according to my Pharmacist and SA Health.
