Data are presented as n % (95% CI), unless otherwise stated. #: there were no “non-interpretable” initial RT-PCR results; 22 patients had at least one repeat RT-PCR, of which one was positive; : one initial RT-PCR result was “non-interpretable”; 20 patients had at least one repeat RT-PCR, of which none were positive; +: seven initial RT-PCR results were “non-interpretable”; 35 patients had at least one repeat RT-PCR, of which 13 were positive.
