Test Information:
Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as MERS-
CoV and SARS-CoV. A novel Coronavirus identified in China as COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 is a new strain that has not been previously
identified in Humans. Since then COVID-19 has spread to many more countries-cases have been reported in all over the world.
Coronaviruses are Zoonotic and are transmitted between animals and people. Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms,
fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory
syndrome, kidney failure and even death. At present there is no cure for COVID-19, standard recommendations to prevent infection spread
include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close
contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing. Early detection is very crucial for clinical
management and disease spread. Real Time PCR technology is recommended for early detection by CDC. COVID-19 qualitative PCR is an
in vitro RT PCR assay for the in vitro qualitative detection and discrimination of SARS-CoV-2 in respiratory specimens.
Limitations:
• Mutations in the target regions can cause false negative reactions
• False positive reactions can occur with SARS and other SARS like coronaviruses in the genus sarbecovirus
• False negative results may arise from improper sample collection, handling and degradation of Viral RNA during trasport and
storage
• A positive result indicates detection of nucleic acid, but does not indicate the viability of the virus.

Note : Assay results should be interpreted only in the context of other laboratory findings and the total clinical status of the patient. For test performed on specimens
received or collected from non-VLL locations, it is presumed that the specimen belongs to the patient named or identified as labeled on the container/test request and such
verification has been carried out at the point generation of the said specimen by the sender.
