Abstract
AIM:
To estimate proportions of individuals who returned positive tests and how these varied with location age and sex.
To estimate apparent rates of clearance of viral RNA from the upper respiratory tract of subjects with repeated tests, and the extent to these varied with age and sex.
CLINICAL BOTTOM LINE
Detectable RNA may persist for long periods and negate the value of repeat testing as a basis of declaring individuals free of infection.
