Results Summary
COVID-19
Negative
Your results do not detect SARS-CoV-2. A negative test means that the virus was not present in the sample you provided.
*Although the possibility is low, a false negative result should be considered if you have had recent exposure to the virus along
with symptoms consistent with COVID-19.
COVID-19
This test checks for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease (also called COVID-19), a respiratory illness.
This nucleic acid amplification test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by LabCorp Laboratories.
Nucleic acid amplification tests include RT-PCR and TMA. This test has not been FDA cleared or approved. This test has been
authorized by FDA under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). This test is only authorized for the duration of time the
declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of in vitro diagnostic tests for detection of
SARS-CoV-2 virus and/or diagnosis of COVID-19 infection under section 564(b)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. 360bbb-3(b) (1), unless the
authorization is terminated or revoked sooner. When diagnostic testing is negative, the possibility of a false negative result
should be considered in the context of a patient's recent exposures and the presence of clinical signs and symptoms consistent
with COVID-19. An individual without symptoms of COVID-19 and who is not shedding SARS-CoV-2 virus would expect to have a
negative (not detected) result in this assay.
Next Steps
Although your test results did not detect the virus, you should continue to monitor for symptoms for up to 14 days after
your last possible exposure. Seek medical attention immediately if you develop severe symptoms, especially if you
experience severe trouble breathing, continuous pain or pressure in your chest, feeling confused or having difficulty
waking up, blue-colored lips or face, or any other emergency signs or symptoms.
It’s important to follow isolation or quarantine precautions as recommended.
If you believe you have symptoms of COVID-19 or that you have been exposed to the virus, you should consult your place
of work for specific guidance about whether to stay home or continue working. You should adhere to recommendations
set forth by your employer or the department of health, as they may differ from the CDC’s guidelines.
