• Laboratories within the United States and its territories are required to report all results to the appropriate public health authorities
• Positive results indicate the presence of viral antigens, but clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine infection status
• Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses
• Negative results should be treated as presumptive and confirmation with a molecular assay, if necessary, for patient management, may be performed
• Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or patient management decisions, including infection control decisions
