A negative COVID-19 test result means that SARS-CoV-2 virus was not detected above the test's level of detection. A negative result does not rule out COVID-19 and should not be the sole basis for clinical decisions. If COVID-19 is still suspected based on exposure history and symptoms, re-testing should be considered. All test results must be interpreted in the clinical context along with epidemiological information. This nucleic acid amplification test was authorized by the FDA for use by Quest Diagnostics during the public health emergency.

A Not Detected (negative) test result for this test means that SARS- CoV-2 RNA was not

present in the specimen above the limit of detection. A negative result does not rule out
the possibility of COVID-19 and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or
patient management decisions. If COVID-19 is still suspected, based on exposure history
together with other clinical findings, re-testing should be considered in consultation with
public health authorities. Laboratory test results should always be considered in the
context of clinical observations and epidemiological data in making a final diagnosis and
patient management decisions. Please review the "Fact Sheets" and FDA authorized labeling

been authorized by the FDA under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for use by authorized
laboratories. Due to the current public health emergency, Quest Diagnostics is receiving a
high volume of samples from a wide variety of swabs and media for COVID-19 testing. In
order to serve patients during this public health crisis, samples from appropriate clinical
sources are being tested. Negative test results derived from specimens received in non-
commercially manufactured viral collection and transport media, or in media and sample
collection kits not yet authorized by FDA for COVID-19 testing should be cautiously
evaluated and the patient potentially subjected to extra precautions such as additional
clinical monitoring, including collection of an additional specimen. Methodology: Nucleic
Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) includes PCR or TMA Additional information about COVID-19
can be found at the Quest Diagnostics website: www.QuestDiagnostics.com/Covid19. THIS TEST
WAS PERFORMED AT: QUEST DIAGNOSTICS LLC 200 FOREST STREET 3RD FLOOR,SUITE B MARLBOROUGH, MA
