Test Name Result Flag Unit Reference Range Method Sample Remarks
Real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) iis used to test for virus specific genes. Two COVID-19 target
genes are tested {ORF 1 ab, N gene}.
Not Detected: indicates that the SARS-CoV-2 RNA is either not present in the specimen or is present at a concntration below the
assays lower limit of detection. This result may be influenced by the stage of the infection and the quality of the specimen collected
for testing. Repeat test if deemed necessary after 72 hours.
Detected: indicates that the SARS-CoV-2 RNA is present in this specimen. results should be interpreted in the context of all available
lab and clinical finding.
Presumptive positive: indicates that only one of multiple genes is detected. Low viral load possible Please send a repeat sample
after 72-96 hours and correlate clinically
LIMITATIONS:
a. false negative result may occur if a sample is improperly collected, transported or handled. b. the specimen was collected late or
very early in the infection due to low viral load.
c. technical reasons inherent in the test, e.g. virus mutation in the RT-PCR target region or PCR inhibition.
d. One or more negative results do not rule out the possibility of COVID-19 virus infection. Laboratory testing for coronavirus
disease 2019( COVID-19) in suspected human cases. WHO interim guidance 2 March 2020
