Brief Answer:
PCR Test for COVID 19 is confirmatory

Detailed Answer:
Hi...
Welcome to the "Ask A Doctor" service.
I am Dr. Ajeet XXXXXXX

I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.

If you have a significant travel history, contact with a suspected COVID 19 patient or have developed symptomatology like fever, headache, cough or breathlessness, you need a PCR Test for the virus.

If it is negative, it will be clear that you are free from any COVID 19 infection.

If the PCR test is not possible, you should remain in a self-quarantine of 14 days and should join thereafter.

Hope that I have answered your query.

Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards
