    Document: Three reviews described methodologies, protocols and tools used for establishing the diagnosis of COVID-19 [14, 23, 27] . Use of respiratory swabs (nasal or pharyngeal) or blood specimens to assess the presence of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid using RT-PCR assays was the most commonly used diagnostic methods mentioned in the included studies. These diagnostic tests are widely used, but their precise sensitivity and specificity remain unknown. One review included a Chinese study in which there was clinical diagnosis with no confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 infection (patients were diagnosed with COVID-19 if they presented with at least 2 symptoms suggestive of COVID-19, as well as laboratory and chest radiography abnormalities) [23].
