- Its central hazard is the false negative — a test that clears an item still carrying the danger, because the hold was too short for the hazard to be detectable
This sourceShows that early testing can yield false negatives that prematurely clear exposed people because of the detection window, specimen collection, or imperfect assay sensitivity.
