So if we are going to be accurate: SARS-COV-2 is an RNA virus that causes Covid 19 and the test uses the RNA from the virus to test for its presence. It is very unlikely that there would be any RNA around if it is not coming from virus. It is possible you might find naked RNA without the rest of the virus, but unlikely, and that is the same for all Covid-19 tests. When a patient tests positive, it means they are finding RNA in the sample, not virus. There is presently no test for “live virus” as there is no such thing as a living virus and no test for functional virus except to infect cells in culture in a laboratory.
