Table 1. Age stratification of first-positive RT-PCR tests and viral load for 25,381 positive cases.
N, number of subjects with a positive test result; Pos. %, percentage of positive subjects; Load (SD), mean log10(viral load) and standard deviation; ≥3 tests, number of subjects with at least three RT-PCR test results, as used in the viral load time course analysis. Age ranges (in years) are open-closed intervals.
