The laboratory report provides the results of a COVID-19 test conducted on a patient sample. The test was a SARS-CoV-2 detection by qualitative real-time PCR test. The test result was negative, indicating that SARS-CoV-2 was not detected in the nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swab sample. A negative result does not rule out infection and should be considered with the patient's clinical history and presentation. The report also provides background information on coronaviruses and the test methodology used.
