    Negative: What Does It Mean To Have A Test Result?

    The test result was negative, meaning SARS-CoV-2 RNA was not detected in the collected sample. However, a negative result does not rule out infection, as it is possible to test negative early in infection or if exposed later. It is still important to follow CDC guidelines on prevention, even after a negative test result.

    Your COVID-19 test result

    NEGATIVE
    A negative result for this test means that SARS-CoV-2 RNA (the cause of
    COVID-19) was not detected in the collected sample.

    What does it mean to have a negative test result?

    A negative test result does not completely rule out being infected with COVID-19.

    If you test negative for COVID-19, this means the virus was not detected at the time your
    specimen was collected. It is still possible that you were very early in your infection at the time of
    your specimen collection and that you could test positive later.

    Also, you could be exposed later and still develop the illness. For all these reasons, it is
    important to follow CDC guidance, including but not limited to frequent hand washing, social
    distancing, wearing a face covering, covering coughs and sneezes, monitoring symptoms, and
    cleaning and disinfectant of frequently touched surfaces - even after a negative test result.

    Legal Disclaimer

    Negative: SARS-CoV-2 not detected Testing did not identify the presence of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes
    COVID-19) in the patient's sample. Many factors can impact the sensitivity of this test, including variability in sample
    collection technique, stage of infection, or the presence of interfering substances. Collection of multiple samples may
    be necessary to detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus. If clinically indicated, consider collecting a new sample for COVID-19
    testing or testing for other respiratory viruses. This test was developed for the detection of nucleic acids from the
    SARS-CoV-2 virus by RT-PCR in individuals who meet SARS-CoV-2 clinical and/or epidemiological criteria. This test
    has not been FDA cleared or approved. This test has been authorized by FDA under an EUA for use by the
    authorized laboratory. This test is only authorized for the duration of time that the Secretary of the HHS declares
    circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of in vitro diagnostic tests for detection of
    SARS-CoV-2 virus and/or diagnosis of COVID-19 infection under section 564(b)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C.
    360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the authorization is terminated or revoked sooner. To learn more about this test, go to https://
