The Role and Limitations of PCR Testing in COVID-19 Mortality

Another significant point pertains to the use of PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) tests to confirm COVID-19 infections. The technology is sophisticated, involving the amplification of viral genetic material through cycles—usually up to 40. Sometimes, tests are run at high cycles, like 37-40, which detect trace amounts of viral RNA.
