Good tests will test positive a few days after a person gets infected and also take time to verify that the person has the virus.
Where I’m living in Germany people are also joking that the easiest way to get the virus might be to go get tested because that puts you into an envirioment where you are more likely to meet other patients.
A simple rule can be that anyone who has been self-quarantining for 14+ days can be considered negative at the start of the test. We wouldn’t lose that much data quality with that rule IMO.
