Note
1. ICMR Registration number for Covid -19 is DRLAL001.
2. Negative result does not rule out the possibility of Covid -19 infection. Presence of inhibitors, mutations
& insufficient RNA specific to SARS-CoV-2 can influence the test result. Kindly correlate the results
with clinical findings. A negative result in a single upper respiratory tract sample does not rule out SARS-CoV-
2 infection. Hence in such cases a repeat sample should be sent. Lower respiratory tract samples like
Sputum, BAL, ET aspirate are appropriate samples especially in severe and progressive lung disease.
3. Covid-19 Test conducted as per kits approved by ICMR / CE-IVD / USFDA.
4. Kindly consult referring Physician / Authorized hospitals for appropriate follow up.
5. Test conducted on Nasopharyngeal & Oropharyngeal Swabs
6. This is a qualitative test. The Ct values do not provide a measure of viral load due to inherent
variability in sampling and kits. According to ICMR guidelines Ct values should not be used to gauge
the severity of the disease.
