Bio reference means ...test results in normal healthy person.
Result positive means the sample has positive result
As such there is no staging in covid but for convinience in managementn it is classified as COVID with mild symptoms, COVID pneumonia and COVID ARDS

Hello. Bio reference means normal reference range. For example normal Hemoglobin levels are in the range 12-16gm. If you have less than 10gm it’s Anemia. Likewise reference for Covid19 PCR is negative. But your father in law has abnormal results suggestive of positive test.
Next Steps
Hope it helps
