A recent study conducted by researchers at the CIMM Center of the University of Oxford in Britain revealed that the tests currently being conducted to diagnose infection with the emerging corona virus may be inaccurate because it may be considered a positive case despite the presence of only dead effects from the virus.

The British Sky News reported that the study revealed that there may be accidentally positive cases due to the way the examination is being conducted at the present time.

The researchers relied on 25 studies on the PCR tests that are conducted through a nasal swab to find out whether a person is infected with the Coronavirus to give the examination a positive or negative result, but the PCR test can monitor the genetic material of the virus for a long time, that is, even when it becomes not intended.

Professor Karl Henegan from the institute based on the study pointed out that this matter is the likely explanation for the continued rise in Corona virus infections, while the number of deaths resulting from the epidemic has stabilized, indicating that this gap in the examination also explains the registration of many confirmed infections without severe symptoms, which requires concerted global effort for Avoid isolating people who do not pose a risk of transmitting the infection to others, especially since the procedures for closure and isolation lead to costly consequences.
