I had Omicron last week. I started feeling stuffed up, but with my allergies and sinus issues, it could have been anything. The next morning, I went ahead and used one of the tests I brought with me on my business trip. I tested Negative and assumed I had sinus issues.

That night, I started having a fever and some chills (7PM). They ended about 8 hours later when I woke up sweaty. I decided to test myself and this time, I was positive. I did 5 days of quarantine and then returned home.

So a negative test is not a sure thing. If you continue feeling bad, wait a day and use a second test.

The issue with the tests is that they do require specific things to be done, in order and then timed. I think there will be a fair percentage that will not be able to do these tests themselves.
