    Snippet: • RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2’s diagnostic has many false negatives and long turnaround times; • In our study 20% of RT-PCR negative patients had a rapid Sars-CoV2 IgG/IgM positive; • Rapid SARS-CoV2 IgG/IgM may be used as a complementary assay to the RT-PCR; • They can be useful in emergency patient's triage and admission; • They help avoiding to admit a patient infected with SARS-CoV-2 in a COVID-free area.
