Expert: Covid-19 false negatives not a failure of the HSE, but rather science catching up with new virus

Clinical Medical Scientist, Sophie Cremen: "Indeterminate results like this happen with new science all the time."

A clinical medical scientist who is shortly to join in the testing process for Covid-19 has said the number of false negatives so far is not a failure of the HSE's but rather science attempting to catch up with a new virus.

It came after it emerged that 100 people had been told the wrong result of their test for the coronavirus.
