In response to the Chinese Embassy’s decision to suspend the use of the services of Nawaloka Hospitals as their designated hospital for the conduct of PCR and immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody tests, Nawaloka Hospitals has stated that it stands by its PCR test results, released after fully authenticating each sample.
This comes after the Embassy noted that several passengers from Sri Lanka holding negative PCR and IgM antibody test reports issued by the Nawaloka Hospital were diagnosed as Covid-19 patients after they entered China.
“In order to ensure the health and safety of all passengers to China, the Chinese Embassy in Sri Lanka will suspend using the Nawaloka Hospital as the designated hospital for PCR and IgM antibody tests and will not accept the reports of PCR and IgM antibody tests issued by the Nawaloka Hospital from 13 July onwards.” it stated.
Nawaloka Hospitals confirmed that the travelers to China who underwent PCR testing are all employees of the same company and reiterated that pre-departure PCR tests carried out on them were negative for the COVID-19 virus, which the Hospital maintains.
It also mentioned that the group of travelers may have been incubating the virus when they were first tested prior to their departure. According to the Hospital, during such a time period, either a PCR or IgM Antibody test would yield a negative result.
“Nawaloka Hospitals wishes to highlight that a common occurrence world-wide, is the fact that a PCR test can show up as being negative, when the virus is in an incubation period. The Hospital is emphatic that this is not an isolated incident. Identical results were shown among many foreign travelers arriving in Sri Lanka, who on arrival tested positive even though the pre-departure PCR test showed a negative result,” it clarified.
The Hospital also stated that it is currently addressing this issue with the Chinese Embassy of Sri Lanka and assured the public that stringent, global standards are followed to ensure the accuracy of every test conducted by them.
