A lot higher than just one false negative.

The bigger issue is that if you are tested too soon after exposure and virus has not incubated then you can get a false negative test result. If the damn thing takes all 14 days to incubate, then there's plenty of room for 3 false negative tests.

Quote:The virus’s incubation period is around 5 to 7 days, but it can be up to 14 days.

If you get tested too early after exposure, it can be possible that you have a false-negative test, notes Dr. Abraar Karan, an internal medicine doctor at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
