RT PCR not detected - what does it mean

2020-09-17 10:33:00
Me and my wife as a precautionary measure have got ourselves tested for COVID- 19 Virus - and the test reporty of both show ' COVID-19 Virus, Qualitative RT PCR - Not Detected' - Molecular Diagnostics. At present we both are neither having any fever, cough or anything. Will you kindly confirm our reports means we are Corona negative? As I am a layman unable to understand medical language. Thanks

Without symptoms and without contact history one should not go for rtpcr.  Inyour case you're negative. Rtpcr only 70% is positivity rate .
