Understanding monitoring testing results

  • The monitoring testing program has begun providing notifications for results where there are signs indicated with low virus level.

When this occurs, the person should return for another monitoring test in 48 hours and observe quarantine guidelines until another test is completed.
  • It may occur that a sample will test positive through monitoring and then a follow-up diagnostic test result is negative. The monitoring test can detect an infection earlier when a viral load is lower and later after an infection has mostly passed. This occurs with a number of diagnostic tests both on and off campus. Every test is subject to its own performance characteristics, and each test performs as expected within its parameters. This is something to discuss with a health care provider in the event that another test is warranted.
