The Florida Department of Health (FDOH) is mandating that all laboratories involved in COVID-19 testing report the cycle threshold value of every test performed.
In a memo (pdf) dated Dec. 3, the department said, “All positive, negative and indeterminate COVID-19 laboratory results must be reported to FDOH via electronic laboratory reporting or by fax immediately. This includes all COVID-19 test types—polymerase chain reaction (PCR), or the RNA, antigen and antibody results.
