The UK health authorities said in a statement that about 43,000 citizens in the country may have received false negative results when polymerase chain reaction tests were taken at a laboratory called Immensa Health Clinic, located in the city of Wolverhampton.
The British Health Agency suspended laboratory activities two weeks ago. The decision was made on the basis of reports from people who received negative PCR test results after having previously had a positive antigen test result.
The results of the NHS Test and Trace investigations concluded that at least 43,000 tests analyzed between 8 September and 12 October may have been false negatives. In a statement from the agency, he described the error as “an isolated incident, but all samples are now being forwarded to other laboratories.”

Incorrect results could mean that thousands of people infected with the virus received the wrong recommendation to stop isolation, and thus ended up infecting others.
Britain’s National Health System is in contact with people who may still be infected to advise them about retesting.
