65% for Nasopharyngeal swab and 35% for oropharyngeal swab so both samples should be taken for 98% sensitivity and specificity

The RTPCR Test is a reliable test for COVID 19, as it shows the presence of the virus in your body. It can be false negative or inconclusive,for that you should repeat the test ( if you have symptoms and they are persistent) Hope your query has been dealt with appropriately.
