Not exactly true. If a single test result returns positive, there's a 50% chance it's a false positive.
It seems like my local health unit does multiple tests to confirm if a positive result is false or true, which is good.
I'm skeptical of PCR tests in general though. Even if you get a true positive, it could mean you used to have covid, or your body is doing a successful job controlling the virus - you might not even be contagious.
