Specimen
Electronically verified report. No signature required. Lab reports should be interpreted by a physician in correlation with clinical and radiologic findings.
Swab
One or more negative results do not rule out the possibility of COVID-19 virus infection. A number of factors could lead to
a negative result in an infected individual, including:
- poor quality of the specimen, containing little patient material
- the specimen was collected late or very early in the infection
- technical reasons inherent in the test, e.g. virus mutation or PCR inhibition.
If a negative result is obtained from a patient with a high index of suspicion for COVID-19 virus infection, particularly when
only upper respiratory tract specimens were collected, additional specimens, including from the lower respiratory tract if
possible, should be collected and tested.
If your test result is Detected, you are advised to stay in isolation to prevent the spread of the virus. Home isolation guidelines can
be found at www.chughtailab.com/coronavirus.
For travel purposes, we recommend that you wait 14 days before getting a repeat test.
