Due 99 to the COVID-19 pandemic causing an important burden on health systems around the globe, and 100 considering that a missing COVID 19 case might have severe consequences at several levels, we 101 aimed to estimate through a systematic review of the literature the proportion of false-negatives 102 related to the detection of SARS-CoV-2 using RT-PCR assays at the initial laboratory test. 103 104
