Maximum CT Value from the samples collected from Covid Patients
政府化驗所：Hi, Can you please tell us the maximum CT value which can be assigned to a sample collected from CoVID patients in North Lantau Infection Control Centre (which may be due to the maximum cycle a machine is programmed to run)? And can you please confirm that the laboratories would consider the test results as CoVID negative if virus in not detected within such maximum CT value?
