So NAAT tests are highly accurate during the infection. They cannot be used to determine whether someone who has recovered has been infected with SARS-CoV-2 as the virus will have been eliminated by then.
Serology tests are not reliable during an infection as the body may not have created antibodies yet. They can be used after the infection but are not entirely specific, an it is unclear how long the antibodies will remain present.
The reliability of these tests depends on the type of the test and the phase the infection is in.
