This laboratory report details the results of a COVID-19 test using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) conducted on a nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swab sample from a 22-year-old male patient. The test results were negative for SARS-CoV-2. The report provides background information on coronaviruses including COVID-19 and how the test is used to qualitatively detect the virus. It outlines that a negative result does not rule out infection and should be interpreted along with clinical history and presentation, while a positive result suggests a COVID-19 diagnosis. The report is signed by two consulting microbiologists.
