Louise Kenny, executive pro-vice chancellor of the Faculty of the Health and Life Science at the University of Liverpool has worked on predictive and diagnostic medical tests. She said: So PCR tests are really sensitive, this means they can be positive even when the amount of virus is very low, at the start of infection, but critically at the end of the infection, they can be positive for many weeks when the overall viral load is tiny and the person is no longer infectious.
