PCR test is the proper test and is extremely reliable - are you confusing it with the lateral flow tests you do at home?

Those are reasonably reliable - good in terms of specificity (false positives), if you see the covid line then it's 99%+ certain you have it. Sensitivity (false negatives) is not quite as high - you can test negative and still have the virus, I'm not sure what the error is (it will have been quantified now given such massive testing data).
I've got them the wrong way round it seems, never really think of them by name to be fair!
