    Document: Rever-transcriptase PCR testing for MERS-CoV is the reference standard test for MERS-CoV, and in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the MoH assigned five regional laboratories for testing all samples (Makkah, Madinah, Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam). When samples are collected from the same city where a laboratory is located, it takes an average of a full day for the result, while samples from outside the city will take 1.5 days, and from one region to another, it will take 2 days. In the setting of crowded EDs, limited numbers of isolation rooms and the need to rapidly decide on contact tracing and intervention for contacts of positive patients, this time frame is potentially long.
