Those tests are not acceptable for work or in lieu of a PCR.

My workplace accepts them. (I haven't tried one out yet because 99% of the time I'm allowed to work from home. But still I'm still curious how they work for that 1% of the time that I may need one.)

simple: swab both nostrils - NOT DEEP - then place inside a card where you put 6 drops of some fluid prior. Then close card. Wait 15-30 mins. If a second line appears, you're positive. All at home. NO ONE but you will know the results.

positive for a

fragment of RNA

which may or may not be remnant of SCoV2

no symptoms no replication no illness no transmission

inhaled virions or fragments stick to your mucosa

trying to enter cells

only when they enter replicate and kill the cell to escape

are they numerous enough and free to be transmitted

For your employer...do a nasal rinse before and after. Those nasty swabs are saturated with a toxic chemical. For just your own knowledge, just do the nasal rinse after to clean the crud on the swab out of your nostril. ;)
