SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid shedding is variable for every person
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Considering the persistent positivity on RT-qPCR tests, the results of SARS-CoV-2 were monitored to evaluate the viral RNA shedding period. METHODS: Between March and June 2020, the sequential results of 29 healthcare workers’ were monitored using RT-qPCR. RESULTS: More than 5...
