REMINDERPR AFTERMARKET ON OCT 8TH:
• Salvia PCR tests are used to detect the SARS-CoV-2 RNA and will be processed in the Company’s lab in Virginia in the same way that the PCR nasopharyngeal tests are done.
• Antigen testing offers a way to immediately determine if a person showing symptoms is infected with SARS-CoV-2 and may therefore infect others. The tests are generally only indicated for the screening of symptomatic patients.
• The Respiratory Panel will be a highly accurate PCR-based test for 18 viruses and two respiratory bacteria. It will screen for Influenza A, Influenza B, and RSV, amongst the 18 viruses. Testing for multiple respiratory pathogens will not just rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection, but aid physicians in proper patient diagnosis.
