What is COVID-19 Test Accuracy Review about?

This document reviews literature on COVID-19 testing accuracy. It finds that RT-PCR tests, the current gold standard, can have false negative rates from 2-29% depending on factors like sampling method and disease stage. Sensitivity varies from 32-93% depending on whether samples are from the nose, throat, lungs, etc. Rapid tests also have lower sensitivity than RT-PCR so negative results require cautious interpretation. More validation of COVID-19 tests is still needed given variations in reported accuracy
