Rapid tests that deliver a false-positive corona result are now used to. But are there also PCR tests that give a wrong result? This is the impression that some patients get in these days of the ongoing omicron wave. You feel corona symptoms, have a positive rapid test, but the PCR test is negative. They still feel sick. A woman from Neubiberg was not satisfied with that and went on the trail of her illness. However, test results and isolation rules have created more confusion than clarity.
