COVID-19
What does COVID-19 measure?
This test detects evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection, the virus responsible for COVID-19. It may be used when a healthcare professional needs to evaluate possible current infection, assess exposure-related concerns, or support decisions about further clinical evaluation. The meaning of the result depends on the type of test performed, timing of testing, medical history, and clinical context.
