Therefore, we collected clinical specimens from 56 COVID-19 patients and reported the results of SARS-CoV-2 detection during the disease course. If two consecutive negative results were achieved, the period between symptoms onset and the date of first negative RT-PCR test result was defined as viral nucleic acid conversion time. In first 3 weeks after symptoms onset, majority results of RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 were positive. [14] [15] [16] This preliminary study has found evidence of the dynamic profile of SARS-CoV-2 in non-ICU COVID-19 patients during disease course. ./cache/cord-317948-svgguadm.txt ./txt/cord-317948-svgguadm.txt
