This recording originally aired live on Oct. 19 as part of a series of online programs provided by the UCLA Alumni Association.
Dr. Omai Garner, section chief and director of clinical microbiology for the UCLA Health System, pulls back the curtain to explain the process and science behind COVID-19 diagnostic testing. This informative session helps understand why false positive and negative test results occur, why there are various wait times to receive test results and, ultimately, how we get the best information about COVID-19 testing.
