The impact of COVID-19 epidemic phase and changes in mean viral loads: implications for SARS-CoV-2 testing strategies

The sensitivity of SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests is inherently linked to viral load. We explored whether average viral loads changed at a population level in Queensland, Australia during the early phase of the pandemic. RT-PCR threshold cycle (C(T)) values, a crude marker for viral load, were compared...
