In COVID-19, a positive throat swab does not mean a confirmed case.

"The positive nucleic acid in throat swab may be asymptomatic infection, or it may be a confirmed case in COVID-19." Cheng Zhenshun, director of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University and chairman of the Respiratory Branch of Wuhan Medical Association, pointed out that positive throat swab does not mean that there are confirmed cases in COVID-19.

Cheng Zhenshun said, "If the patient's throat swab is nucleic acid positive, but there are no clinical symptoms such as fever and dyspnea, and there is no obvious virus infection on lung CT, then it is called asymptomatic infection."
