ANALYSIS: Coronavirus: Tests 'could be picking up dead virus'

Sun, 2020-09-06 10:47 — mike kraft

Covid tests 'could be picking up dead virus' Scientists say a positive coronavirus result does not guarantee that someone is infectious. BBC News

Researchers say this could be leading to an over-estimate of the current scale of the pandemic.

But some experts say it is uncertain how a reliable test can be produced that doesn't risk missing cases.
