  1. RPP Respiratory Pathogen Panel, NAT nucleic acid test. Fifteen specimens are not shown: 13 where patient demographics could not be verified, one due to an error in both the SARS-CoV-2 NAT and the RPP, and one where the SARS-CoV-2 test internal control failed. Of these 15, 14 were negative for all RPP targets, and one resulted in an error for both the RPP and SARS-CoV-2 tests
