"How to prepare, store, and transport specimens for laboratory confirmation in the context of SARS-CoV-2?","Use flexible Nasopharyngeal/Oropharyngeal swab to collect specimens, leave swab in place for several seconds to absorb secretions. Slowly remove the swab while rotating it. Place specimen (nasal or oropharyngeal swab) in viral transport media (VTM), triple packaged and labeled appropriately. Store collected specimens at temperatures of 2 – 8 °C until ready to send to the reference laboratory. Specimens may be held at this temperature for up to 72 hours. Specimens must be received reference Laboratories within three days of being collected.","### Instruction: Below is a conversation between a human and an AI agent.

What are the results of laboratory confirmation for SARS-CoV-2?,COVID-19 tests may not be routinely performed in all laboratories. Return and communication of results is done through centralized electronic result download system. Results are uploaded into this system by accredited COVID -19 testing laboratories into electronic results dispatch system (eRDS). Results are always received within 48 to 72 hours. The country along with the neighbours have set up the Regional Electronic data and driver tracking system (RECDTS) in 15 points of entry at the border posts which enables access to results of tested truck drivers by the authorities.,"### Instruction: Below is a conversation between a human and an AI agent.
