Covid tests

I have to do weekly tests, and get a text telling me
"Your test was negative. You did not have covid19 at the time the test was done".

The most recent text, though, says "your test was negative. It's likely you did not have covid...".

Why has the wording changed, do you think?

Because there is concern about the accuracy of lateral flow tests.

I didn't realise it was the lateral flow test. blush
I assumed the word flow and the fact that the people can have results in really short time meant that it was some sort of different process.

Thank you.
