Table 7. Secondary testing of field samples for SARS-CoV-2.
For our PSCS-CoV2 method, a positive was a sample with N1 < 40 and a N2 < 40. Samples that did not meet that threshold were deemed negative. Retests were performed by an independent Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) approved laboratory using nasopharyngeal swabs for sample collection.
