Sorry, there are two tests in the U.K., the lateral flow test if you don't have symptoms and de PCR test if you have been in touch with someone who has had a positive result or you have symptoms.
Simone Taylor Nov 21, 2021:
It depends on the country Check which country it is for. In the U.K. is the Lateral flow test.
Joseph Tein Nov 21, 2021:

Screening tests are recommended for unvaccinated people to identify those who are asymptomatic and do not have known, suspected, or reported exposure to SARS-CoV-2. Screening helps to identify unknown cases so that measures can be taken to prevent further transmission.

Examples of screening include:

Testing employees in a workplace setting
Testing students, faculty, and staff in a school or university setting
Testing a person before or after travel
Testing at home for someone who does not have symptoms associated with COVID-19 and no known exposures to someone with COVID-19

Well yes, it does; if it were positive, you wouldn't have to rule anything out, would you? Hence there is a negative connotation to all screening, in that the object is to rule out negative outcomes.
