    Snippet: As safe individual release from lock-down is a major application for serological testing, we chose OD thresholds that maintained 100% specificity (95%CI 93-100%), while maximising sensitivity. Using thresholds of 0.07 for IgM and 0.4 for IgG (3 and 5 standard deviations above the negative mean respectively; Figure 2A ,B), the IgG assay had 85% sensitivity (95%CI 70-94%; 34/40) vs. RT-PCR diagnosis. All six false-negatives were from samples taken .....

Using thresholds of 0.07 for IgM and 0.4 for IgG (3 and 5 standard deviations above the negative mean respectively; Figure 2A ,B), the IgG assay had 85% sensitivity (95%CI 70-94%; 34/40) vs. RT-PCR diagnosis. All six false-negatives were from samples taken within 9 days of symptom onset ( Figure 2D ). IgG levels were detected in 31/31 RT-PCR-positive individuals tested ≥10 days after symptom onset (sensitivity 100%, 95%CI 89-100%). The IgM .
