Note: The kappa results are classified as: <0 (poor); 0–0.20 (slight); 0.21–0.40 (fair); 0.41–0.60 (moderate); 0.61–0.80 (substantial); 0.81–0.99 (almost perfect); 1.00 (perfect). Results in left and right are based on manufacturer's instructions or using only high‐tittered sera compared with FDA authorization, respectively.
